Rank : 8.3 (average on 3 votes)

Coordinates : 63.895706, -22.052157 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : The geothermal area of ??Krýsuvík, yet is located only 35 km from Reykjavik, is strangely and luckily still outside of the normal tourist routes. The geothermal area is located just above the rift valley that bisects Iceland and which continues towards the North East in the park Thingvellir and geothermal area of ??Geysir. Here you can see boiling mud, sulphurous volcanoes, geysers and endless shades of color from white to yellow ocher, while remaining strictly on boardwalks raised above the ground ... worth the merger of shoes! The soil is in fact at a temperature between 85 ° C and 100 ° C.For the single visit enough 3/4 hour. For photos ... better not be in the company: we would have stayed hours. Fascinating also the lunar landscape in the last ten kilometers from Reykjavik coming down the road 42: reminds me of the Los Volcanes Park in Lanzarote

Recommended equipment : Wide (I've almost always used the Nikkor 14-24) and short telephoto for details

Best months : It can be visited at any time

How to get there : From downtown Reykjavik take Hwy 41 towards Keflavik Airport. After 16 Km take the road 42 to the left for 23 km. Some stretch is unpaved but there are no problems if there is not much snow. Better check on the site http://www.road.is/travel-info/road-conditions-and-weather/ The day we arrived in Iceland 42 was closed for neve.Proseguendo from Krisuvik south and then taking the road 427 will arrive in 33 Km to the Blue Lagoon, crossing a beautiful lavico.Ovviamente plateau you can get to Krisuvik also in the opposite direction, starting from the Blue Lagoon or the airport.

Visits : Free admission. I do not think I remember visiting hours
