Krafla is a caldera of about 10 km in diameter with a 90 km long fissure zone, in the north of Iceland in the Mývatn region. Its highest peak reaches up to 818 m; it has erupted 29 times and it is 2km in depth.
The Krafla area also includes Námafjall, a geothermal area with boiling mudpools and steaming fumaroles. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krafla)
Went up to Husavik for some whale watching and overnight camping. On the way back we stopped at Krafla near Myvatn and Goðafoss.

This is a field of mudpools and fumaroles near Lake Myvatn in the north of Iceland. It'sa good job that the smell wasn't captured on the pic..there was a pervading odour of rotten eggs everywhere,
I like the brooding sky, the people and the subdued colours...but thats my personal opinion !

South of the Krafla area, but not actually within the caldera is Námafjall, a mountain, beneath which is Hverir, a geothermal area with boiling mudpools and steaming fumaroles.
