| Hverfjall volcanic crater |
At Hverfjall, hike 12,
is a volcanic crater of 1km diameter, a short uphill walk followed by an hour
walk around the rim.

The view of the crater is amazing and scenery around is
awesome. However, the wind at the top is really violent, and being a cold and
drizzly day, it ends up as an exhausting hike.

At Grjotagja, can see
this lava fissure, with hot spring water inside, where in the old days locals
used it as a bath.

At Namafjall there are
bubbling sulphurous pools and fumaroles scattered around, a truly strange
looking and foul smelling landscape.
