It does seem alien, but it also feels like a primordial Earth. The stark, barren landscapes where vegetation hasn’t formed and the moss covered lava fields makes it look like a 7th grade life science chapter on the first early lichens and plants from tens of hundreds of millions of years ago. If you manage to be there alone, it’s amazing to just take it all in.

(Somewhat not surprisingly, Iceland was used as the location for Prometheus.)
