ICELAND: Námafjall and Lake

Recorded September 5, 2008. Námafjall is a high temperature geothermal area with geysers and mud pots. At a depth of 1000 meters the temperature exceeds 200 ° C. As is typical of other thermal zones there is a smell of hot springs in Námafjall which is caused by steam and gas vents, such as hydrogen sulfide. Mývatn is a eutrophic shallow lake located in an area of active volcanism in the north of Iceland, near the Krafla volcano. The lake and its surrounding wetlands have an exceptionally rich fauna of waterbirds, especially ducks. The lake was created by a large basaltic lava eruption 2300 years ago, and the surrounding landscape is dominated by volcanic formations including lava pillars and rootless vents (pseudocraters).
