WHERE ICELAND’S HEAT REACHES THE SURFACE
Colour. Steam.
The force beneath.
In this high-temperature geothermal area, underground heat meets water moving through volcanic rock. At the surface, steam vents, mud pools and mineral deposits reveal the energy below.
It is a living landscape: activity changes, and the soft ground needs care. Stay on marked paths and follow the signs.
THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED ACCESS
Closer to nature.
Gentler on the ground.
Elevated paths bring visitors into the valley while protecting the terrain. Flat, anti-slip surfaces and viewing points help more people experience the geothermal landscape.
