Hveravellir, meaning “The Hot Spring Fields”. is located on the edge of the 8000 year old Kjalhraun lava field 650 meters above sea-level in the Icelandic highlands

There was an old route through this area from north of the country to south, which is referred to in the Viking Sagas with the first references being from around year 900. This road is called Kjalvegur road and that´s more or less the same route we follow to this day

There is a high temperature geothermal area here and also a lovely hot pool in which one can bathe

Landmannalaugar is known for its natural geothermal hot springs and stunning surrounding landscape. Having the active volcano, Hekla, in its neighborhood makes it one of Iceland’s most unique destinations.

The area displays a number of unusual geological elements, like the multicolored rhyolite mountains, expansive lava fields and hot springs
It´s a must see for all who truly appreciate the beauty of nature.

Gjáin in Thjorsardalur valley is a pair of falls  within a lush garden paradise nestled within a rift zone. While the waterfalls themselves are attractive,  the rift zone setting is really beautiful in that it feels like you are entering a different place that contrasted from the typically dry and desolate desert highlands surrounding the area.

This is a lava area and the lava can take on such beautiful form. There are several lava caves in Gjáin and all over there is columnar basalt and volcanic tuff.
