A beautiful place

[n2kaja]

these photos are beautiful and the sad thing is it's of a place that will be destroyed by the Government of Iceland

get a look while it's still there

I don't even know if it is still there as the photos were taken in 2002
However Alcoa HAS built a damn it for power
thanks angel80 for looking that up.

There is an excellent article about the construction of this dam by the ecologist Mark Lynas posted here -
