A double rainbow arches over cloud-hidden Snæfellsjökull in Iceland. This glacier rests atop the extinct stratovolcano Snæfell and is perhaps best known from the Jules Verne novel Journey to the Center of the Earth in which the characters descend through the ice cap and deep into the earth. Snæfell’s last known eruption occurred about 1800 years ago, some 650 years before the first settlers arrived.

The shadow of the photographer’s head marks the exact center of the rainbow circle (antisolar point).
