Iceland’s magic….
One of the many fascinating sites in Iceland that we toured last September! Our guide mentioned the numerous flies that we would encounter, but we didn’t know that there would be quite so many of the relentless little pests! However, even the flies and smell of sulphur couldn’t diminish the strange beauty of the area.
“The Námafjall Geothermal Area is located in Northeast Iceland, on the east side of Lake Mývatn.
At this area, also known as Hverir, you will see many smoking fumaroles and boiling mud pots, surrounded by sulphur crystals of many different colours. This sulphur gives the area an overwhelming smell of egg.
The soil in the area has little vegetation due to the acidity caused by these geothermal processes.”
