Iceland......they run a rally there around the perimeter of the island, last time two Minis ran it, a sedan and a P'up. I want to do that run so bad! The scenic photography was absolutely stunning....

Where in the world? Well... it is exactly RIGHT HERE (https://www.google.com/maps/place/64%C2%B051'56.1%22N+19%C2%B033'17.4%22W/@64.865589,-19.5570307,375m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d64.865589!4d-19.554842)!

I'm sorry to burst your bubble though. You won't be seeing any volcanic eruptions. Might see the aurora if you go at the right time of year and at night.

Here's the original image.

And here's the guy's blog that it's from (https://www.extremeiceland.is/images/Photos/Hveravellir/hveravellir-thermal-pool.jpg). Pretty cool journey around the island if you're still interested in going.
