Námafjall with Hverir | Geothermal area

WI_is165_303.jpg

The Mid Atlantic Ridge runs through the area around Mývatn, not only leading to frequent volcanic activity, but also to post-volcanic phenomena such as fumaroles, mud pots, and hot springs. They can be observed in the geothermal field of Hverir at the base of Námafjall (shown in the background).
