On the south east coast of Iceland , just a few miles of Hofn , is an easily missed area of amazing landscape , quite gothic in nature , a complete contradiction of normal seaside features. one in particular are the black ash dunes with the winter remains of tussock grass slowly forming small dune hillocks as they capture grains of ash blown about to form eddie currents appearing as ripples in the ground .In this case crested by the previous nights frost. This image shows the "small beginnings " of such a dune feature . Another example of the contrasts of Iceland .
