Worn from the flow of people – interesting that most go left (the buttons work on both sides of the elevator)

The waterfall is on the left, the right shows the layers of basalt columns. "It is safe to say that Svartifoss is one of Iceland’s best-known waterfalls, thanks to the way in which it is beautifully framed by unusually symmetric, thick basalt columns. These columns were formed about 300,000 years ago, when lava flowed down the SkaftafellsheiΓ°i plain and filled an old riverbed. As it slowly cooled down, the rock contracted and then split into columns that stand perpendicular to the cooling surface." https://www.vatnajokulsthjodgardur.is/en/areas/skaftafell/destination-svartifoss

Looking head on at a T-rex fossil so you see the tailbone through the legs and you see the arms sticking out. You can't see the eyes from this angle, only the nose and jaw with huge teeth.
