Kerid Crater

• Kerið crater is a striking natural wonder located in the heart of Iceland’s volcanic landscape. This vivid volcanic caldera, estimated to be around 3,000 years old, captivates visitors with its dramatic red slopes and the turquoise water that fills its basin. Unlike many craters formed by explosive eruptions, Kerið is believed to have formed when a magma chamber emptied and collapsed inward, creating the unique bowl-shaped structure you see today. The colorful contrast between the iron-rich soil and the aquamarine lake makes it a favorite stop for photographers.
• A walk around the rim offers stunning panoramic views of the crater and the surrounding Grímsnes region, while a path leading down to the water’s edge lets you appreciate its scale from below. Whether bathed in summer sunlight or lightly dusted with snow in winter, Kerið has a quiet, almost otherworldly beauty that leaves a lasting impression. It's a peaceful yet powerful reminder of the geological forces of Iceland.

Geysir

• Did you know that every geyser in the world is named after -Geysir- in Iceland? The term geyser comes from the Icelandic verb -að geysa,- meaning to gush.
• Although Geysir is now dormant (its last recorded eruption was in -2000-), its neighbor -Strokkur- remains incredibly active. Strokkur erupts every -5 to 10 minutes-, treating visitors to dramatic jets of steaming water.
• Situated along the iconic -Golden Circle-, Geysir and Strokkur are must-see natural marvels, highlighting Iceland’s geothermal forces. Be sure to experience Strokkur’s breathtaking eruptions up close!

Bruarfoss Waterfall

Brúarfoss, often called Iceland’s “bluest waterfall,” is a hidden gem tucked away in the scenic countryside of the Golden Circle region. This stunning cascade is known for its unbelievably vibrant blue water, which flows through a narrow volcanic crevice and tumbles over a series of small ledges, creating a delicate, almost lace-like effect. The color comes from glacial meltwater filtered through lava fields, giving the river its surreal turquoise hue. While smaller than Iceland’s more famous waterfalls, Brúarfoss captivates with its charm and unique appearance.
