Kerid crater, Iceland


Kerid is a volcanic crater lake located in the Grimsnes area in the south Iceland.


The caldera, like the other volcanic rock in the area, is composed of red (rather than black) volcanic rock.

The lake is fairly shallow 7-14 meters (depending on rainfall and other factors ), but due to minerals from the soil, is an opaque and strikinly vivid aquamarine.

The pictures I have taken here, does not make this scenery any justice. I was absolutely stunning and with the scenery outside of the crater, it almost felt like we where on another planet :-) If it hadn`been for the road behind us, that is ;-) hehe
