Salix herbacea
english : herbaceous willow
french : saule herbacée

This little willow, which is often found in the Alps at high elevations, is a few centimeters high. One tree like this one can be several hundreds of years old. No wonder it needs to be protected.

Over the years, the branches of this willow have accumulated particles of sand, making a little bump, on which moss is growing.

Nice Iceland pages !
We've been to Iceland in april, such a great country. Thinking of going back next year to visit he part we haven't been to during this first visit.
Still lots of work to do building my tips though ... ?

Amazing trip and interesting reviews! I loved the photo of midges, although I'm pretty sure it was no fun to deal with them :)
I'm going to Iceland in July, and I really hope that my trip will be as much enjoyable.
Regards, Natasa

I'm fascinated of the pic you posted from Iceland--Strokkur. Is that ice coming from the ground? Or plain water? Is it man-made?...lots of questions huh I think it's very interesting to visit such place.

REgardless of all the recent events, this really is a pristine place that hopefully will survive the weather changes. Good job of the pictures and comments.

Fundamental VT-job about Iceland! Gullfoss, Skogafoss and Dettifos look stunning. A few chances to see them but who knows... Thank you Jean-Louis for showing this magnificent country!
