Description

One of the big attractions near Myvatn in northern Iceland is Hverir, the largest and most easily accessible of the country’s geothermal fields. Open the car door and you are assaulted with the smell of sulfur from the hydrogen sulfide in the steam from the steam vents and mudpots (seen in the foreground). The mudpots or mud pools are formed when a little water collects in the rich volcanic ash surrounding a steam vent. The mudpots are continuously bubbling away with a plop plop plop kind of bubbling producing a somewhat surreal scene. And the mud…oh, the mud! Best not to wear your favorite shoes or boots since (if the weather is above freezing), you will sink several inches into the thick stinking muck! But all that doesn’t deter photographers and casual onlookers alike from exploring the field and marveling at the incredible forces of nature.
