Mountain Avens, a member of the rose family. Panoramic view from the Hverfell crater toward Lake Myvatn. Climbing the giant ash crater Hverfjall. Hverfell Crater, formed in an eruption 2,500 years ago. Hikers going down the tephra-covered slope.
More hikers headed down. The Krafla area is the heart of volcanic activity that began in the 1970s after 300 years of dormancy. Here the earth’s thin crust regularly rises and falls as magma builds up beneath the surface, escapes as steam, and subsides. A minature volcano, Krafla.

Driver Gudmundur and guide Petur, both from Reykajavik, as are nearly two-thirds of the inhabitants of Iceland. Steaming earth in the Krafla area. When the earth was first formed, it may have looked like Krafla. The Krafla mud pots hiss and steam. The mud pots of Krafla bubble and sometimes blow.

Jean,
Thanks for the photo-tour. We've never been to Iceland so seeing your photos was a treat.
All is going well out here on the left coast. We just got back from the Pacific northwest and are heading out tomorrow on an RV caravan. We'll have two foreign students till Christmas and then we head to Death Valley for a week or two.
