This is the Silfra Fissure area in Iceland. Hard to see but there are tufts of Calluna vulgaris or heather all over under the snow. All of the parts of Iceland I was in had heather plants along with Empetrum nigrum or crowberry. They were even growing in the ditches in the city of Reykjavík. They were very short most likely to stay under the snow.
