Iceland Gunnuhver hot spring
The hot spring called Gunnuhver is located close to the Reykjanes Coastline. It's colored rocks and stones is very amazing.
Accordingly, it is the largest sludge source in Iceland with a diameter of 20 m. The steam hisses and whizes with tremendous pressure from the earth. Seawater flows into the rock layers of Cape Reykjanes at a depth of 900-1000 m and exits here as steam from the ground. Tus it smells not so much of hydrogen sulphide but fishy.
