The highlands of Iceland, covering most of the interior of Iceland, are uninhabitable volcanic desert. The water precipitating as rain or snow infiltrates so quickly into the ground that it is unavailable for plant growth, which results largely in a surface of grey, black or brown earth, lava and volcanic ashes.
