Krýsuvík Geothermal Area, Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland
Iceland, Krysuvik - Seltun, Reykjanes peninsula
Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed :D
The geothermal area Krýsuvík is situated on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland. It is in the south of Reykjanes in the middle of the fissure zone on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge which traverses Iceland.
Krýsuvík consists of several geothermal fields, such as Seltún. Here solfataras, fumaroles, mud pots and hot springs have formed, the soil is coloured bright yellow, red, and green hues. Sulphur deposits were mined in 1722 - 1728 and in the 19th century.
Big thanks to x50 for the track!

Volcanic Wonders of the Reykjanes Peninsula
A day tour from Reykjavík that takes you to the volcanic landscapes of the Reykjanes Peninsula. We visit places such as the bridge between continents, the Reykjanes lighthouse, Gunnuhver (hot spring), Brimketill rock formation by the Atlantik Ocean, Seltún hot spring area, the mystical lake Kleifarvatn and last but not least we go lava caving to explore the underground of the bláfjöll lava fields.

Kleifarvatn, Kleifarvatn Lake, Reykjanes, Iceland, Lake
Kleifarvatn is the largest lake on the Reykjanes , Iceland. The lake Kleifarvatn is about 10 km². Photographers love it because of the volcanic surroundings. and lots of geologic features all around . Kleifarvatn is about 32 km from Reykjavik.
KLEIFARVATN – Geothermal Diving and snorkeling site in Iceland
Covering about eight square meters, Kleifarvatn is the largest lake on the Reykjanes peninsula and with a maximum depth of 90 meters is one of the deepest lakes in Iceland. Kleifarvatn is located about 30 km outside of Reykjavík and sits directly atop the mid-Atlantic ridge, the point at which the North American and Eurasian continental plates diverge. Kleifarvatn Lake is nestled within an impressive volcanic landscape, full of steep and amazingly colored hills and weird lava formations. Standing at the lake’s shore it is hard to believe that there is a populated city just 30 minutes away. This is the territory of trolls and elves.
Lake Kleifarvatn’s position on the geothermally active area along the diverging tectonic plates provides some unusual features. Underwater hot springs were recently discovered about 10 meters from the shore on one side of the lake. In the center of the hot springs is a large crater that emits large quantities of warm water and gases. As the air bubbles are pushed through the crater on the lake floor, pressure causes the surrounding rocks to vibrate slightly. Divers can usually feel these vibrations themselves, which is a special experience!
Kleifarvatn lake is also unusual because of its constantly rising and falling water levels despite the fact that the lake has no visible surface drainage, i.e. no connecting rivers. Changes in water level are due mostly to alterations in ground water level. For instance, the water level in the lake noticeably decreased in 2000 as water drained into the ground following earthquakes that created a fissure in the lake’s floor. Since then the water levels have risen again, but they must be checked frequently in order to gauge access to the dive site.
Kliefarvatn Lake is a popular fishing site during the summer season and is known for unusually large brown trout and char. A monster the size of a whale and shape of a serpent is also said to inhabit the lake. As the lake partially freezes over during winter, both diving and fishing activities are paused during the winter season.

Beautiful Iceland-Reykjavík and Reykjanes Peninsula
This is my last video in the series, I take no credit for the music, I do not own any of the music from any of the videos. All the music used was by Icelandic artists as the videos are about Iceland so it makes sense. I went on the tour with Superjeep.is and the flights were with Icelandair.
