Hveradalir Geothermal Area

About the place

Hveradalir Geothermal Area is located in the Hengill mountain range close to Reykjavik. The landscape is colored with intense shades of orange, red, and yellow caused by rich mineral deposits. Steam vents rise constantly from the ground, while gray mud pools bubble under pressure. The area plays a key role in supplying hot water and electricity to the capital region. Well maintained hiking trails allow visitors to walk safely through this dramatic geothermal landscape.
