námafjall

Namafjall/Hverarönd地热：不可错过的独特景观，可近距离观看无数地热蒸气喷口和遍地黑色熔岩。从克拉夫拉火山景点出来1号公路对面。一大片地热地貌，山上也冒着热气无数小的地热口应该是硫磺地貌象个小火山口滚烫的泥浆在喷涌地热喷口，象打开了蒸汽阀门降龙十八掌

Wonderful place to experience the vocanic nature of Iceland. It does smell very sulphuric, so beware, but it is worth the visit. Just off the ringroad, it is also very easy to find (coming from mývatn it is on the right directly behind the mountain, otherwise on the left, just before going up). Try to get there early or late, it is more atmospheric with less people.

This is located right off the ring road and is worth a stop. This is a fascinating view of the geology of Iceland. Bubbling hot pots. Sulfur smell. Steam rising. Fascinating to view. The walking paths are very easy. No hiking is required.

Well now I know what it is like to experience life on Mars.......Namafjall no less!! The landscape is totally baron apart from native fauna and scatterings of lava rock. The power of the geothermal springs is unconscionable. Towering jets of steam literally shoot out from the ground; boiling mud pools with temperatures of 200 degrees and a yellowed landscape painted by the heavy deposits of sulphur.........it simply must be seen to be believed.

Stopped by for 45 mins to see the spewing gasses and bubbling MUDs.Very interesting' informative and worth the visit.You cannot take a bad photo!!!! Blue skies, beige desert like landscape, swirling creams from silica, dark mountains and navy moody clouds!Definite recco...hope this is helpful?

We spent a fantastic morning walking up the hill and along the ridge. The landscape is like something out of a science fiction movie and fascinating to anyone with the slightest interest in geology.

No fee with us! I do not understand where other visitors this year had to pay a fee, but when we arrived in August - except the usual full parking lots with tour buses - we had a good time!

You must visit this attraction. The smell is just like lots and lots of rotten eggs ! Imagine that.It looks like the moon but alive because the mud in the hole is boiling hot and it's just fascinating to watch. You are safe as long as you don't step off the paths.Other places steam just comes out of the ground. In all a very interesting experience

It's kind of weird to review a natural attraction (what are you supposed to say? Well done, Mother Nature?), but if the general point is to let you know if it's worth seeing, the answer is yes.Namafjall is in the Lake Myvatn area, which most people in the Myvatn/Akureyri/Husavik area will go to anyhow, so you may as well stop. It's very close to the Viti crater and the Myvatn nature baths and can easily be combined with a stop at these. It's visible from the road. For most people it's probably a 30 minute stop--you drive right up to it and use a series of trails to go around the flat site. It is an active volcanic zone, so don't be stupid and cross over boundaries and keep an eye on your kids. As long as you can do this it's a safe and interesting, albeit smelly, site. It's also something that you can see and enjoy if it's an overcast day although it's gorgeous in the sun.

I drove by these vents on the way to Krafla volcano, and decided to stop on the way back out of curiosity. I luckily got there just before the fee was taken, and walked right in. The smell is incredible, a mixture of rotten hard boiled eggs and honey. However, the area looks like another planet. Bubbly mud, steam, and bright blue colors within all of the brown. I did not have time to spend a lot of time exploring, but I would have like to hike up the hill behind the vents and get a birds eye view of the eastern portion of Lake Myvatn. Take some time to enjoy the alienness of the surroundings and breath deep the smell of the Earth.

What else to say, but enjoy seeing and hearing the sound of steam escaping from the ground along with the wonderful hydrogen sulphide smell. It's so unreal and a must have stop, but you have to pay

This geothermal site is truly beautiful and unique.It features surreal colors and a patch of yellowish ground in the midst of the mid April snow terrain.Steam vents spurting hot steam with rotten egg like smell are scattered throughout the site and make a great photo-op.While there's no harm in going through the steam, try to take deep breaths while inside the cloud of steam, as it'll make you cough – badly.Highly recommended, winter and summer alike.

There is a strong smell of rotten eggs but it diutes quickly with fresh cold Icelandic air, in any case you will probably get distracted by all the sights, from the hot springs, steam vents, bubbling mud and sulphur encrusted craters. Not to mention the spectactual scenary surrounding the area. If you have the time and stamina you can climb the surrounding hills to get a brids eye view. There is a little boarded platform area from the carpark that allows you to look over the sights but unlike Yellowstone there are no boardwalks into the sitet so you will have to be able to navigate the uneven surface and dirt paths to fully explore the area.

We had actually known that the area is very interesting and exciting to see for a high temperature area. As we had been a group of 50 did we had to decide not to visit Namafjall, as an entry fee was instated just 2 days before our visit of Ikr. 800 per person, hence no way to pay that fee to just see the site. Went to Hveravellir instead and found that very interesting, also to see the usage of geothermal waters in greenhouses, and bought some very good vegetables instead.

a high temperature geothermal area with fumaroles and mud pots. Smell like rotten eggs as the sulfide comes out in steam. Beautiful! Amazing!
