A row of bare earth hills, colored with sulfur and sublimated deposits that gives the impression of a small desert in Myvatn
Námafjall, the "quarry mountain", is a row of bare earth hills. It is coloured with sulphur and sublimated deposits and gives the impression of a small desert. It was once a quarry worked for the Danish king. At the end of the parking lot, a small observation platform overlooks a large boiling mud pot. Be careful not to stray from the paths; under the earth's crust, the ground is heated from 80°C to 100°C, so be careful. Access to the site is via Route 1, 6 km east of Reykjahlíð.

Une colline aux couleurs nuancées d'ou s'échappent des jets de vapeurs et en contrebas lac de boue, cheminées de fumerolles,nous sommes bien sur un site géothermique de premier niveau.

Impressionnant! Ce bouillonnement, ces fumées, ces sifflements des cheminées...La croûte terrestre semble si mince à cet endroit...A voir!!
Feel the heat of the floor, its vibrations near the mud ponds, hear his whirrs, whistles... You east invades a strange feeling, an impression of vulnerability both intimidating and exciting. Life is on earth... yes, but it is forgotten that it is also under ground. Namafjall is there for you to remind it! Superb visit, magnificent walk and more tons of photos of incredible colours as the others to do.
