Viti

The Myvatn area has many volcanic and geothermal features. Contrary to the Hverfell crater which is very dry and dark, Viti is filled with deep blue water and colorful mountains.

 

This Viti is a large crater approximately 300m in diameter whose name signifies Hell. It was formed during a 5-year long explosive eruption of the west side of Krafla at the beginning of the Myvatn Fires in 1724.
