Star Trek: Discovery #301 “That Hope Is You: Part 1″

Michael searches for her missing crew while trying to navigate a strange future.

Michael crash lands on the crater of Hverfjall, a volcanic cone on the edge of Lake Mývatn in northern Iceland.

She travels to the shore of Lake Kleifarvatn in the southwest part of the country where she finds the ship she accidentally caused to crash and meets its owner, Booker.

The two of them start the long journey to the nearest bit of civilization, crossing along the top of Goðafoss.

While trekking across the mossy stones of Eldhraun Lava Field, Booker tells Michael about the loss of the Federation.

They arrive at the Mercantile to sell Michael’s antiques in exchange for fuel and a subspace transmitter. This familiar location is the Hearn Generation Plant in Toronto which has appeared in several past episodes including "Brother", "The Red Angel", as well as the Short Treks episode "The Escape Artist".

The two of them flee after pissing off security and end up behind Seljalandsfoss on the southern coast.

Their next destination is a small outcropping off Kerlingardalsvegur on the way to Þakgil where they have to take cover to wait for the personal transporter to recharge.

They finally manage to escape pursuit by landing in the water of the famous Blue Lagoon where Booker reveals his abilities with plants and animals.

After escaping off planet Michael accompanies Booker to a Sanctuary planet filmed at the Rockwood Conservation Area outside Toronto where he releases the trance worm to be with her own kind.

Spattershot When the magma rising from the probable mantle plume that intersects the Mid Atlantic Ridge passed through the basaltic lump that we know as Iceland that results from this meeting and reached the surface around 2500 years before the Common Era it exploded out into the tuff ring/scoria cone in the photos. Known these days as Hverfjall, the resulting crater is around a km and a half across and is surrounded by a typical steep sided cone that is 400 metres high sitting near Lake Myvatn. Formed of layers of ash and chunks of lava that were driven out of the vent and fragmented by the pressure of expanding gases coming out of solution, it is essentially a ring of shattered debris from a lava fountain. The feature is part of a larger system known as the Krafla fissure swarm that marks an extensive weak spot in the crust that the magma forced its way through, producing a widespread set of related volcanic features from the same batch of molten rock.
