  Kerid Crater

  Kerið Crater is a part of the larger Western Volcanic Zone – it was formed around 3,000 years ago during a volcanic eruption, leaving behind a massive caldera with a depth of about 55 meters (180 feet) and a diameter of approximately 270 meters (890 feet). What makes Kerið so unique and captivating is the vivid colors of the rocks and surrounding vegetation. The slopes of the crater display vibrant shades of red, russet, and deep browns, creating a picturesque contrast against the azure blue water that has collected at the bottom. The changing colors of the surrounding vegetation throughout the seasons further accentuate the ever-evolving nature of this unique geological site. Kerið is also home to a rich ecosystem, with various plant species finding a niche within its volcanic walls. Mosses, lichens, and hardy grasses cling to the rocks, creating a burst of green amidst the barren, rocky landscape.
