Kerid crater of an ancient volcano, with an intense reddish-brown crater, contrasting with the turquoise water, with black and green surroundings

Not far from Selfoss, Kerið is an ancient volcano with a deep reddish-brown crater, contrasting nicely with the turquoise water filling the crater and the black and green surroundings. The pieces of gravel take on a special appearance, as if they had been fired in a potter's kiln. A small path allows you to climb up to the edge of the crater and walk around it in about 40 minutes. The view on the surroundings is, moreover, superb. Signs on the parking lot explain the process that led to such a formation.

Sans intérêt en hiver
Si le site a l'air joli en été, je le déconseille en hiver où la glace recouvre tout et empêche de voir les contrastes et le fameux lac d'un bleu somptueux. Payer pour faire le tour du cratère par temps venté glacial, sans même l'avantage éventuellement de pouvoir aller aux toilettes sur le parking, c'est dommage ...

Volcan très coloré
Ce volcan offre de magnifiques couleurs et contrastes.
A noter, le site est payant, cela est suffisamment rare pour être souligné.

C'est un petit cratère à la terre ocre, avec un petit lac vertau fond...
Les couleurs y sont magnifiques, une véritable fresque. Le contraste avec le point d'eau est sublime.
Petit point négatif ? Il y a une entrée à payer (400 couronnes) , on se consolera en se disant que cela permettra de financer des projets de protection de la nature... et avec un chocolat chaud et un p'tit gâteau islandais offert.

C'est beau ! Petit cratère à la terre ocre ou rouge, avec une eau bien verte au fond... 400 couronnes pour l'entrée, mais on vous offre un chocolat chaud et un p'tit gâteau islandais.
