Simmering landscape
My friend, Sævar, held his birthday party in the highlands of Iceland, in Kjölur. We went on hiking in Hveradalir, Kerlingarfjöll, and as he walked faster than I and my friends he was already on the other side waving when we were taking pictures and slowly hiking in his footsteps.
Hveradalir geothermal Area is located in the Highlands, by Kjolur Highland Road, in Iceland. One of the largest geothermal areas in all of Iceland, Hveradalir offers hot springs you can view up close and others that can be admired from a safe distance. The site is surrounded by the rhyolite mountains of the Kerlingarfjoll range, making for some spectacular and colorful surroundings and excellent hiking opportunities. Situated by the volcanic mountain ridge of Kerlingarfjoll, Hveradalir draws its name from the many hot springs in the area. From smaller, bubbling mud pools to larger springs of steaming water, the site offers visitors a glimpse into the stunning complexities of Iceland's geology.
One of Hveradalir's main attractions is the many striking natural formations created by the geothermal energy coursing beneath the surface. The hot waters flowing through the ground have interacted with the minerals, causing chemical changes that often result in unique patterns and colors appearing in the rocks above.
