The geothermal area Krýsuvík is situated on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland. It is in the south of Reykjanes in the middle of the fissure zone on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge which traverses Iceland diagonally from the south-west to the north-east of the island.

Krýsuvík is one of Iceland's high temperature areas. This becomes visible through the sulphur springs and hot springs at Seltún and another similar area nearby.

Taken on my recent holiday to New Zealand.

I loved this place, a wonderful geothermal park, full of geysers, thermal pools, mudpools and lots of stinky holes in the ground :)
