Colours of the Earth

Colourful soil created from the geothermal activity in the The Námafjall Geothermal Area, also known as Hverir which is located in Northeast Iceland, on the east side of Lake Mývatn.

 

Here 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.
