Are You Seeing Red Yet?

There are quite a few places here in the Republic that are associated with the color red, such as the two Raudhólar (“Red Hills”) areas—one just east of Reykjavík/Kópavogur, and the other in Jökulsárgljúfur, midway between Dettifoss and Ásbyrgi in Northern Þingeyjarsýsla. Here is a photo series of red places that are worth visiting, and of course, with a camera in hand.
