"Apple Crater"... a unique site in Iceland that is worth a visit

- Did you know that there is a huge “apple” on which you can walk in Iceland? There is a geological feature above the Icelandic highlands referred to as "Apple Crater".

Looking at the photographic works documented by Chinese-Canadian photographer Elliot Chow when he visited the place, it's easy to see the reason behind the strange name. “ Its red volcanic slopes and green algae layers show a striking contrast with the surrounding dark landscape, giving it a very unique appearance,” Zhao said, referring to the Rauðaskál crater.

The Canadian photographer was introduced to this site for the first time through a post shared by an Icelandic photographer on Instagram, and then he visited it in 2023 with a friend. As a photographer, Zhao was very curious and wanted to check if this place was really real.

He added: “Given the difficulty of accessing it, I was also attracted by the opportunity to photograph a place that not many people venture to.” His photos amazed Internet users, as he confirmed that documenting the crater with a drone allowed the place to be viewed from a new and unique angle.
