Taken at Whakarewarewa, in Rotorua, New Zealand

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 and it is 2 km in depth. There have been 29 reported eruptions in recorded history.

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.

Went up to Husavik for some whale watching and overnight camping. On the way back we stopped at Krafla near Myvatn and Goðafoss.

trying on some abstract shots....

These pools are full of boiling hot mud. The whole area smells strongly of sulphur (as does a lot of Rotorua really).
