点评:The Eldhraun lava field is located along the Ring Road near Kirkjubæjarklaustur in the south of Iceland. There is a small free carpark and opportunity to walk through a small section of this massive lava field that covered 565 sq km, the second largest in Iceland.
The Eldraun field occurred during an eruption in the late 1700s. Today the lava is covered with unique Icelandic moss which takes around 100 years to grow. By walking the trail you see exposed craggy lava next to almost alien like moss covering the lava on both sides of the path.
Note that you will also see damaged moss the result of visitors walking on and bruising the moss at some point in the past. Here you see the fragile nature of the moss and can better understand why it is so critical to stay on the path and not venture onto the moss.

埃尔德劳恩熔岩原形成于18世纪末的一次火山喷发。如今,熔岩上覆盖着独特的冰岛苔藓,这种苔藓的生长周期约为100年。沿着小径行走,您会看到裸露的崎岖熔岩,旁边是覆盖在小径两侧熔岩上的、几乎像外星生物一样的苔藓。
请注意,您还会看到一些受损的苔藓,这是过去游客踩踏造成的。在这里,您可以看到苔藓的脆弱性,并更好地理解为什么走在小径上而不是踩踏苔藓如此重要。
