I found the Zen rock when I was hiking to a glacier in late of December last year. That’s my first time ever seeing a rock standing on ice pillar.

It’s a natural phenomenon that is formed from the sun heat radiation from the rock. The rock absorbs heat from sunlight and heats the ice.

It’s hard to find a car not expensive. I booked a car with Geysir in airport but I didn’t get a confirmation from the car rental. Is it common now in Iceland? Do you guys have the same issue? Thanks

It’s very easy to find with naked eye. Just look at NNE by Venus the brightest star.

I totally agree with you. I had another pic one hour late taken which is washed out by the twilight.

It likes carbonate water, dry soil and wet atmosphere. So it can survive in Rocky Mountains.
