Alien landscape….
I felt like I had stepped out of an interplanetary spaceship onto another world instead of out of a motor coach in Iceland! The landscape was barren and steam was rising up to reach the dark clouds. “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.”
