Laugahraun is a young basaltic lava field at Landmannalaugar, formed during the 1477 Veiðivötn eruption. Dark, fractured, and still sharply textured, it stands in direct contrast to the surrounding rhyolite mountains and geothermal slopes. More than a backdrop, Laugahraun is a defining structural element of the Landmannalaugar landscape, shaping access, water flow, and human movement through the area.
