Iceland Námafjall Hverir
Have you ever dreamed of being in a lunar-like landscape? Welcome to Hverir ;)
It's a geothermal area at the base of Námafjall, with some blue and grey boiling mud pools and steaming fumaroles on a plain in the ochre colours surrounded by a dead mountain without vegetation ( the high temperature in the ground has to be for something they're ^^). Great playground for photographers and every nature lover.

Photography Tips
Be careful and stay on the path, the temperature may be very high (60/90° C) just a few centimetres under the ground, and every year some tourists who step over barriers are feet burned, and the ground collapses on their weights. Except this, have fun & explore every opportunity of this great location.
