Iceland's origin is completely vulcanic. Vulcanoes are outlets for the heat of the inner Earth, but that heat can surface in a less violent way, too. In various places, the heat causes ground water to boil and this boiling water comes to the surface in geothermic areas. One of those is Krusivik, where one can walk in hell - brimstone and sulphur included - along a nicely layed out path... Happily, we also found a spot which somewhat less easily accessible and therefore all the more real! |
