Kerið
The first natural wonder on the Golden Circle tour in Iceland is usually a stop at the volcanic crater - Kerið.
This is one of a group of volcanic hills called Tjarnarholar, (lake hills). Although we did not see any other massive craters nearby, our guide explained that the Grimsnes region was formed by these explosions, but that was about 3000 years ago.
The inactive volcanic slag crater, Kerið, is dormant. The only evidence of the forces that once shaped the landscape are the volcanic rocks that form the walls and the ground that we stand on peering down into the water below us. This sleeping monster is quiet. Perhaps it is dreaming of the days of glory when magma spewed from it's core and spilled onto the surrounding soil building the very ground that now supports curious visitors.
Very close area to the Kerið:
