National Geographic Photo of the Day

Honored to be chosen for National Geographic Photo of the Day - April 16, 2016

I took this photo in the South of Iceland from a glider that had just been dropped off by a small plane (pictured below). Was a wonderful and magical experience to circle above this land so rich with geothermal activity and the texture of old lava flows. I was amazed by how quiet it is to fly in a glider, compared to small planes.
