Iceland Hnausapollur, Crater Rim View
Hnausapollur is one of the amazing old flooded volcano craters close to the road to the camping of Landmannalaugar. If you walk off the crowded places, you will find these places mostly alone for yourself, especially when going early for sunrise or late for sunset.
Photography Tips
Place a person in the foreground and use the pond/crater lake as a contrasty background. Make sure to photo is pointing in the direction of the colored craters to the left so you get even crazier colors in your photo.
Travel Information
