Kerid es un lago de cráter volcánico en el sur de Islandia, Tiene 6500 años, forma oval y 55m de profundidad y es una auténtica maravilla bajar hasta la orilla con esa agua de diferentes tonos. Según la luz que tiene da unas tonalidades espectaculares de colores azules y verdes.
Kerid is a volcanic crater lake in southern Iceland, It is 6500 years old, oval in shape and 55m deep and it is a real wonder to go down to the shore with that water of different tones. Depending on the light it has, it gives spectacular shades of blue and green colors.

d'abord l'ascension pour faire le tour du cratère puis la descente un peu raide pour arriver au lac, mais cela vaut l'effort !!
Kerid Crater from another viewpoint. It only was a 10 minute drive from our cabin, so we went in the morning with not that many people around jet. From atop it is a bit of a surreal sight, with the almost turquoise coloured lake against the red krater. Later I found out there are more almost alien landscapes around here, and this is just one of them😊
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!

The slag crater Kerid is the northernmost one of the crater row called Tjarnarholar. It is elliptic in shape, 270 m long, 170 m wide, and 55 m deep. The pond in it is 7-10 m deep, depending on the ground water level of the area.
This crater row along with the cluster of larger craters further east, called Seydisholar, and the lava field are about 6000 years old. In 1990, a concert was held on a raft on the crater pond with the audience sitting in the grassy slopes inside it. This was repeated on large rubber boats in August 2004 and 2005.

Day 4 of our trip to Iceland. Today was the Golden Circle tour, Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss, Geysir and Kerid.
Golden Circle Tour- 3,000 yr old crater, note the people walking along the ridge, it was a fantastic hike
Kerið (also Kerith or Kerid) is a volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area in south Iceland, along the Golden Circle. It is one of several crater lakes in the area, known as Iceland's Western Volcanic Zone, which includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, created as the land moved over a localized hotspot, but it is the one that has the most visually recognizable caldera still intact. The caldera, like the other volcanic rock in the area, is composed of a red (rather than black) volcanic rock. The caldera itself is approximately 55 m (180 ft) deep, 170 m (560 ft) wide, and 270 m (890 ft) across. Kerið's caldera is one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters because at approximately 6,500 years old, it is only half the age of most of the surrounding volcanic features.

The various colors of the area around this crater is quite interesting. Notice that the rocks around this crater is not black but red volcanic rocks, unlike most of the rocks in other parts of Iceland.
According to Wikepedia:
Kerið (occasionally Anglicized as Kerith or Kerid) is a volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area in south Iceland, on the popular tourist route known as the Golden Circle. It is one of several crater lakes in the area, known as Iceland's Western Volcanic Zone, which includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, created as the land moved over a localized hotspot, but it is the one that has the most visually recognizable caldera still intact. The caldera, like the other volcanic rock in the area, is composed of a red (rather than black) volcanic rock. The caldera itself is approximately 55 m (180 ft) deep, 170 m (560 ft) wide, and 270 m (890 ft) across. Kerið’s caldera is one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters because at approximately 3,000 years old, it is only half the age of most of the surrounding volcanic features. The other two are Seyðishólar and Kerhóll.
While most of the crater is steep-walled with little vegetation, one wall is sloped more gently and blanketed with a deep moss, and can be descended fairly easily. The lake itself is fairly shallow (7–14 metres, depending on rainfall and other factors), but due to minerals from the soil, is an opaque and strikingly vivid aquamarine.
Land owners Kerfélagsins ehf. charge an entrance fee to see the crater of 400 ISK (March 2016).

Kerið's caldera is one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters because at approximately 3000 years old, it is only half the age of most of the surrounding volcanic features.

The lake itself is fairly shallow (7–14 metres, depending on rainfall and other factors), but due to minerals from the soil, is an opaque and strikingly vivid aquamarine.
Although volcanologists originally believed Kerið was formed by a huge volcanic explosion, as is the accepted norm with volcanic craters, more thorough studies of the Grímsnes region failed to find any evidence of such an explosion in Kerið. It is now believed that Kerið was a cone volcano which erupted and emptied its magma reserve. Once the magma was depleted, the weight of the cone collapsed into the empty magma chamber. The current pool of water at the bottom of the crater is at the same level as the water table and is not caused by rainfall.
Wikipedia
Kerið ist ein rund 6500 Jahre alter Krater in Island, der nördlichste in der Kraterreihe Tjarnarhólar. Das Oval misst rund 270 m mal 170 m, der Krater selbst ist 55 m tief. Die Wassertiefe des Teiches in der Mitte schwankt zwischen 7 und 14 m. Kerið liegt in einer vulkanisch aktiven Zone, die zu einem größeren Eruptionsgürtel gehört, und zwar dem Reykjanes-Langjökull Gebiet. Kerið steht mittlerweile unter Naturschutz, d.h. seine Schlacke darf nicht abgebaut werden.

The Islandic crater Kerið was formed about 6,500 years ago and lies at the northern end of a row of craters known as Tjarnarhólar. It is oval, about 270 m long, 170 m wide and 55 m deep, the depth of the water at the bottom varies between 7 and 14 m. Kerið lies in the Iceland´s Western Volcanic Zone, which runs through the Reykjanes peninsula and the glacier Langjökull. Kerið is now protected by law, i.e. its slag is not allowed to be exploited.

The Golden Circle is the most popular route to take in Iceland and you'll see 3 beautiful natural attractions; Þingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss waterfall.
However, if you keep circling this route, you'll find the 3000 year old Kerið crater lake and it is well worth the stop. My son and I really enjoyed the gorgeous views, red volcanic rock slopes and strikingly vivid aquamarine water. (MORE PICS IN COMMENTS)
Kerid Crater, Grimsnes, Iceland by Ryszard Lomnicki
This extraordinary photo shows the volcanic crater Kerið, located in southern Iceland.
This is Kerid, and crater lake originating from a volcano. This once violent volcano now offers a nice view that is pretty unique in Iceland. This angle was a bit different from what I've seen here so that may be why I like it.

On my last night in Iceland we passed by the Kerid Crater, on the way back to Reykjavik. We were greeted by an explosion of earthy colors. The crater lake is sapphire-colored, the steep slopes of the caldera are covered in red volcanic rock and rich green moss, and the sky was a soft blue with some hues of orange.
I processed a paintery, a balanced, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

100x walks #86
I was like a child in a sweet shop walking up the crater of a 6,500 year old volcanic crater. Just a shame it wasn't still active...
Hope everybody's having a great weekend! :)
The Kerid is a volcanic crater lake approximately 3,000 yrs old (half the age of the surrounding Volcanic features) located in the Grímsnes area in the south of Iceland and has the most visually recognisable caldera, red (rather than black) volcanic rock.
It was originally believed that the Kerið was formed by a huge volcanic explosion, but is now believed that Kerið was a cone shaped volcano which erupted and emptied its magma reserve.
When the magma was depleted, the weight of the cone collapsed into the empty chamber. The current pool of water at the bottom in the crater is at the water table level.
