Hveradalir - ice and fireIceland is famous for its many glaciers, volcanoes and geothermal activity. Situated atop the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge as well as atop a mantle plume or hot spot the island is one of the most active volcanic regions on Earth.The mountain range of Kerlingarfjöll can be found in the Highlands of Iceland in the centre of the country. It rises up to 1477 meters and is part of a large volcano system of about 100 square kilometers. Within these mountains lies an interesting geothermal area called Hveradalir.The evidence for its volcanic origin can be found everywhere in the form of mud pools, fumaroles, hot springs and rivulets. The red and yellow volcanic rhyolite and the small glaciers together with some arctic vegetation create the most unique views you can expect.XandiImage Credits: http://bit.ly/1V48dMz http://bit.ly/1Ovtx1a Sources:http://www.kerlingarfjoll.is/ http://www.icelandontheweb.com/articles-on-iceland/nature/geology/ -- source link
