Namafjall
Namafjall is a high-temperature geothermal area with fumaroles and mud pots. At a depth of 1000 m the temperature is about 200°C. Along with the steam comes fumarole gas, such as hydrogen sulfide which is responible for the characteristic hot spring smell in this area. The hot springs produce considerable sulphur deposits. In the previous centuries, sulphur was mined in Iceland to produce gun powder.
