The Reykjanes peninsula is a region particularly rich in geothermal phenomena due to the high level of volcanic activity. The mid-Atlantic ridge rises to the surface in the Krysuvik region, and there are numerous lava fields, fissures, solfataras, mud pots and other hot springs. This volcanic activity can be seen in particular at the Seltún site.
The Fountain Paint Pot area in Yellowstone has several springs, pools, geysers, a fumarole, and the Fountain Paint Pot. Yellowstone National Park.
This trail is an easy 0.5 mile (0.8 km) loop boardwalk. You will see various hydrothermal features that are expressions of Yellowstone's volcanism. No two features are exactly alike, yet they can be grouped into those with a lot of water (hot springs and geysers) and those with limited water (mud pots and fumaroles).
A long daytime exposure of Firehole River in Yellowstone. The white plumes of steam lining the banks of the river are fumaroles. I stole a moment to make this photo while Teri was off watching a coyote zigzagging near the walkways in the Upper Geyser Basin.
I hope you all had fabulous holidays, and I look forward to catching up.

Steam pouring from the volcanic fumaroles of Hverarond, lit up by the light of a beautiful sunrise during our trip to North Iceland this year. A still taken from one of many timelapse sequences captured during our adventure with Welshot Imaging.
Just had to upload this photo so that I could use that title ;-)
Taken in Lassen Volcanic National Park..
Below is the park's description.
"The “hell” in Bumpass Hell is aptly named. Here you see geology in action—16 acres/6.5 hectares of boiling springs and mud pots, hissing steam vents, and roaring fumaroles."
and to add.. the stink ;-)
Toujours actif – sa dernière éruption date de 2015 -, le mont Bromo se situe dans la caldeira de Tengger et partage le paysage avec le mont Batok et l’imposant mont Semeru, point culminant de la région avec ses 3676 mètres d’altitude. Ces trois volcans s’inscrivent dans le parc national de Bromo-Tengger-Semeru, qui abrite aussi lacs et rivières, ainsi qu’une faune et une flore endémiques extraordinaires.L’aube qui se lève doucement sur la caldeira de Tengger constitue un spectacle ébouriffant. La variété et les changements de couleur du ciel sont saisissants. A mesure que les contours du mont Bromo se dessinent au-dessus de la brume matinale, des nuées bleues violacées, orangées et rouges vif traversent l’horizon et embrassent le relief. Absolument grandiose ! Au premier plan, on peut observer le mont Batok et sa forme parfaitement conique. Tout au fond, laissant s’échapper une fumerolle blanche, c’est le majestueux mont Semeru qui s’élève dans le ciel javanaisL’ascension du mont Bromo en elle-même n’est pas difficile et est accessible à tous. Il s’agit d’environ 250 marches à gravir pour atteindre le sommet Une épaisse fumée blanche et un bruit sourd perpétuel s’échappent du cratère. Comme au Kawah Ijen, cette fumée est essentiellement composée de dioxyde de soufre qui lui donne cette odeur si particulière. Irrespirable à haute dose, on peut s’en protéger avec un masque ou un foulard, ou en observant le sens du vent.

Still active - it last erupted in 2015 - Mount Bromo is located in the Tengger caldera and shares the landscape with Mount Batok and the imposing Mount Semeru, the highest point in the region at 3,676 metres. These three volcanoes are part of the Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park, which is also home to lakes and rivers, as well as extraordinary endemic flora and fauna.The gentle dawn over the Tengger caldera is a breathtaking sight. The variety and colour changes in the sky are breathtaking. As the outline of Mount Bromo rises above the morning mist, blue-purple, orange and bright red clouds cross the horizon and embrace the terrain. Absolutely stunning! In the foreground, we can see Mount Batok and its perfectly conical shape. In the background, with a white fumarole, the majestic Mount Semeru rises into the Javanese sky. The ascent of Mount Bromo itself is not difficult and is accessible to all. It is about 250 steps to climb to reach the top. Thick white smoke and a perpetual thud emanate from the crater. As with Kawah Ijen, this smoke is essentially composed of sulphur dioxide, which gives it its distinctive smell. Irrespirable in high doses, you can protect yourself with a mask or scarf, or by observing the direction of the wind.

One of the highlights of our Iceland trip was Kerlingarfjöll, a mountain range located in Iceland’s central highlands.
Hveradalir, a geothermal wonderland of steaming vents, boiling mud pools, and rainbow-colored hot springs, is tucked away within this mountain range.
With the combination of hiking trails, rust-colored mountains, and clouds of steam, it is one of Iceland’s most unique hiking and photography destinations.
To get here, you will either need to rent a 4×4, take a bus, or join a tour.
With a Toyota RAV 4, we drove over two hours on the low-traffic, unpaved roads with sections filled with potholes, through the heart of Iceland. Along the way, we witnessed endless views of barren landscapes and distant, glacier-topped mountains.
Just the drive alone was an adventure!
The weather condition deteriorated as we got further into the mountain range - gusty wind, dense fog, and drizzles.
By the time we parked our car, the visibility was down to less than 10 feet. It was windy and cold! We debated if it was safe to go down to the geothermal area, as we had to take a series of steep and slippery mud-filled steps. We were concerned if the wind gusts would blow me off the trail, carry me straight down to the valley floor!
We managed to go down and do a small portion of the planned hike safely. I was able to take a few photos in the rare moments that the fog was kept away by the wind.
Side Note: It rained for the next two days and so we had to skip Landmannalaugar, a wonderland of rainbow-colored mountains, lava fields, and hot springs. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement!!!
Thanks for your visit, my dear Flickr friends!!!
«Il Parco naturalistico delle Biancane è un’area naturale ricca di manifestazioni geotermiche e per questo paragonata alle terre d’Islanda. Passeggiando al suo interno si possono ammirare soffioni, fuoriuscite di vapore dal terreno, putizze e fumarole. Il nome Biancane deriva dal bianco delle rocce: le emissioni di idrogeno solforato causano la reazione chimica con il calcare trasformandolo in gesso. Il vapore esce dalle fratture della roccia ad una temperatura di circa cento gradi centigradi. In corrispondenza degli sbocchi di vapore si formano cristalizzazioni di zolfo. Tutte le rocce si prensentano alterate dalla circolazione dei fluidi geotermici con la comparsa di colori meravigliosi e assolutamente unici».
"The Biancane Natural Park is a natural area rich in geothermal manifestations and for this reason compared to the lands of Iceland. Walking inside you can admire shower heads, steam leaks from the ground, putizze and fumaroles. The name Biancane derives from the white of the rocks: the emissions of hydrogen sulphide cause the chemical reaction with the limestone transforming it into gypsum. The vapor comes out of the fractures of the rock at a temperature of about one hundred degrees centigrade. Sulfur crystallizations are formed at the steam outlets. All the rocks appear altered by the circulation of geothermal fluids with the appearance of wonderful and absolutely unique colors ».
Volcan Uturunku (Quechua for jaguar) shines in the last rays of light as a squall bears down on the twin summits. Uturunku (6,008 m / 19,711 ft) has been dormant for around 10,000 years, but has experienced multiple episodes of eruptions and lava flows for as long as the past 1 million years. Since 1992 increased deformation and seismic activity has hinted that magma may be moving into the volcano's subsurface chambers, possibly signaling an upcoming eruption, though similar uplifts have occurred in the past without eruptions. There are fumaroles with hissing steam in the saddle between the two summits.
The small white dots on the sunny slope in the foreground are grazing llamas. A road climbs high on the slopes of the volcano, and can be seen below the summit on the right. One series on Flickr depicts the ascent up this road to at least 5800 m on a bicycle: www.flickr.com/photos/escapa/34665007411.
Geysers, fumaroles, bubbling mud pools, hot springs, and silica formations can be viewed in the historic Te Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley. Te Puia is also a center for viewing traditional Maori culture.
The last image was taken when I was standing on the top of this hill (top right area), during a rare moment when the fog dissipated.
Those mud stairs were wet, sticky, and slippery. Our boots and hiking sticks were caked with mud afterward, took us forever to get them off!
Dear readers, we were well aware that hiking in the thick fog, compounded by wind, could be dangerous on a mountain or strolling along an exposed ridge and couldn't see the edge. Rest assured that no risks were taken here, we turned around as soon as we felt unsafe.
For those who missed reading about my experience in this area, please refer to this post HERE!
Thanks for having a look, I always appreciate your visit and feedback!
This view looks across Yellowstone Lake from the shores Sedge Bay along the East Entrance Road In Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The hill on the left side of the photo is Steamboat Point. One close inspection of the photo, steam can be seen rising from fumaroles at the base of the hill just above the lake. These fumaroles are some of the first thermal features encountered by visitors who enter the park from the East Entrance. Fumaroles are vents or openings at the surface where volcanic gases and vapors are emitted. Faint to loud roars and hissing can be heard as the gas escapes the vent. Most of the vapor emitted by fumaroles is steam, formed as groundwater circulates deeply through heated rock. The water vapor mixes with volcanic gases given off by magma deep below in Yellowstone’s caldera. These volcanic gases include sulfur compounds, such as various sulfur oxides and hydrogen sulfide which accounts for the sulfur or “rotten egg smell” visitors may notice. There are no geysers that erupt water here. The fumaroles at Steamboat Point are some of the thermal features associated with the Marys Bay hydrothermal explosion crater on the side of Yellowstone Lake. There are several such hydrothermal explosion craters scattered across Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. They range from tens of feet to more than a mile across. This one at Marys Bay is not only the largest hydrothermal explosion crater documented in Yellowstone but it is also the largest in the world. It measures 1.5 miles (2.6 km) in diameter and forms an embayment on the north side of Lake Yellowstone. The crater, which formed 13,800 years ago, may have been the result of several separate explosions over a short period of time. The cause or trigger for these hydrothermal explosions are not fully understood but pressure release due to glacial melting, earthquakes, or rapid changes in lake levels could be significant factors. Geological studies have found that these large, violent hydrothermal events are independent of associated volcanism. In the past 16,000 years, none of these events have been followed by an eruption of magma. The deeper magma systems seen unaffected by these sometimes spectacular steam explosions in their overlying hydrothermal systems.
The hill across the lake just beyond its western shore is The Elephant Back. Most of the top of this hill lies above 8600 feet above sea level (ASL) with the culmination at 8731 feet ASL. Elephant Back is typical of the topography in the center of the Yellowstone Caldera.

Namafjall is a high-temperature geothermal area with fumaroles and mud pots. At a depth of 1000 meters the temperature is over 200 degrees C. Cold ground water seeps down to magma intrusions, where it is heated and transforms into steam, and then comes back to the surface. Along with it comes sulphur gases.
One of the major attractions of the Krafla area is Leirhnjúkur hill and its solfataras.
Leirhnjúkur hill split open in January 11, 1725, spouting lava. After a minor burp in 1746, it became the manacing sulphur-encrusted mud hole.
The earth's crust here is extremely thin and in places the ground is ferociously hot. Steaming vents on the pastel-coloured rhyolite mountain to the west are the last vestiges of a series of explosions in 1975.

Yellowstone preserves the largest collection of hydrothermal features on the planet. Here one has an unparalleled opportunity to view hot springs, geysers, mudpots, and fumaroles in a natural setting.
Last week my eldest daughter (26 yrs) and I made a trip to Iceland, to catch up, enjoy the landscape and take some images.
Hope you like the view as much as we did.

Thermal features are often hard to see when surveying a hillside such as this one in the Back Basin of Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Named for Dr, George Nelson Allen, a geologist from Oberlin College who was part of the first geological survey of Yellowstone National Park under Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, the crater of this feature cannot be seen from the trail. It is often a fumarole but sometimes functions as a mud volcano. On those occasions, bursts of mud can sometimes be seen from the Back Basin Trail.

A view across the geothermal area, Gunnuhver, shows some of the thermal features and power generation facilities This highly active geothermal area, which is also called the Reykjanes Geothermal Field, sits on the southwest side of the Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland. Altered ground and sinter encrusted in places with native sulfur and sulphates make up the foreground, The visible features visible from left to right in the center of the photo are: Observation platform on Kísilhól (“silica hill”) surrunded by solfataras; Grey Lagoon; Powerplant group containing fumaroles, steaming ground and mudpots; power generation wells and plants.
The development of the Geothermal power plant in 2006 effected the hydrothermal features. Steaming off the ground at Reykjanes increased markedly as a consequence of pressure drawdown in the geothermal reservoir after exploitation. Some boreholes drilled during development became steam vents or mud pools. Geysers once known in the area have all disappeared.

Una delle caratteristiche dell’altipiano boliviano è la sua complessa attività vulcanica. Si tratta di vulcani pacifici, attivi o inattivi, di epoca preistorica, che accompagnano l’evoluzione del pianeta da milioni di anni.
Una delle più affascinanti di queste manifestazioni sono i geysers di “Sol de Mañana” a 5000 metri di altitudine nei deserti di sale della Bolivia Sud Occidentale.
E’ un incontro con le forze più primordiali della natura che ci mostra come la terra sia un organismo vivo in perenne evoluzione.
Quest’ area geotermale è caratterizzata da laghi e pozze di lava e fango bollente che possono raggiungere la temperatura di 200°C mentre i geyser sparano getti di vapore fino a 50 metri di altezza creando un’atmosfera infernale
