Krýsuvík Geothermal Area in Iceland
Bubbling up from the magma, we visit the geothermal fields on our first day trip outside of Reykjavik. And because science is so cool, we head over to check out where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates collide!!

Iceland Road Trip - Geothermal Field Seltún-Krýsuvík by DJI Spark
Day 9.
Small but nice geothermal area not so far away from Reykjavík. On the way to Seltún, there is a beautiful lake.
Krýsuvík geothermal area. Iceland
Krýsuvík geothermal area, Iceland (2002).
The geothermal area Krýsuvík is situated on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland. It is in the south of Reykjanes in the middle of the fissure zone on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge which traverses Iceland.
Krýsuvík consists of several geothermal fields, such as Seltún. Here solfataras, fumaroles, mud pots and hot springs have formed, the soil is coloured bright yellow, red, and green hues. Sulphur deposits were mined in 1722 - 1728 and in the 19th century. German scientist Robert Bunsen visited the site in 1845 and, based on research there, proposed a hypothesis on formation of sulphuric acid in nature.
Near the geothermal fields are several maars - craters created by the explosions of overheated groundwater. The unusual green-blue Grænavatn lake has formed in one of these maars. Test boreholes were made here in the early 1970s, some of the boreholes have turned into irregular, artificial geysers, one of which exploded in 1999, leaving a crater.
Krýsuvík is a popular hiking area and tourism infrastructure - such as wooden pathways - has been developed.
The biggest lake in the area, Kleifarvatn, began to diminish after a big earthquake in 2000; 20% of its surface has since disappeared. In this area there were some farms until the 19th century, after which they were abandoned. Only a small chapel, Krísuvíkurkirkja, built in 1857, remained, until it burned to the ground on January 2, 2010.

WHAT TO DO IN ICELAND: GEOTHERMAL ROAD TRIP
One of the first things I suggest when people ask me what to do when they arrive in Iceland is to head to the geothermal areas of Gunnuhver and Krýsuvík, and having not been ourselves for a few months, we headed back and did a little vlog too.
A big thanks to Toyota Island for lending us the Land Cruiser for the weekend, it was super comfy and thank goodness for those heated seats!!

Iceland : South peninsula, Bridge between continents, Krysuvik-Seltun Austurengjar,
Support our channel :
The volatile geothermal field Austurengjar, about 2km south of Kleifarvatn, is often called Krýsuvík after the nearby abandoned farm.
Nearby is the lake Grænavatn, an old explosion crater filled with weirdly green water – caused by a combination of minerals and warmth-loving algae.
Bridge between Europe and North America on Reykjanes Peninsula.
The lava-scarred Reykjanes peninsula lies on one of the world's major plate boundaries, the Mid Atlantic Ridge. According to the continental drift theory the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates are continuously drifting apart with great forces under the gaping rifts. As the plates diverge, linear fractures, known as fissures form due to stresses created by the tension that builds up as the plates move away from each other.
The Bridge between two continents at Sandvík is a small footbridge over a major fissure which provides clear evidence of the presence of a diverging plate margin. The bridge was built as a symbol for the connection between Europe and North America.

W południowej części półwyspu Reykjanes, w obrębie obszar geotermalnego Krysuvik znajduje się niezwykłe pole geotermalne Seltun. To istne zderzenie z wulkanicznym obliczem półwyspu.
Temperatura pod powierzchnią ziemi sięga 200 stopni Celsjusza. Gazy i woda ogrzewane pod ziemią przez komorę magmy znajdują ujście na powierzchni w postaci gorących źródeł, bulgoczących bajorek i fumaroli. To one nadają temu miejscu specyficzny zapach zgniłych jaj. W 1999 roku na skutek eksplozji jednego z gejzerów powstał krater o średnicy 30 metrów wypełniony wrzącą wodą.
Miejsce udostępnione zostało turystom, wytyczono ścieżki i wybudowano drewniane kładki i pomosty. Chętni mogą również wspiąć się na turfowy stożek Bleikholl co osobiście polecamy.
Jak dotrzeć do Seltun ?
Aby dotrzeć do Seltun, kierując się drogą 427 od Grindavíku, skręcamy w lewo w drogę 42 jadąc kilka minut w malowniczej scenerii. Pole geotermalne Seltun będą po prawej stronie drogi. Wstęp jest bezpłatny, na miejscu dostępna jest również toaleta.

L'Austral Iceland Cruise Day 7: Disembarkation and Seltun Geothermal Area
One last busy day as all passengers disembarked the beautiful L'Austral where the trip began one week ask, in Hafnarfjorour Port. I was very impressed that Captain Lemaire stood at the foot of the gangway and shook hands with every passenger.
A good portion of Tauck Tour guests would fly home today, others stay in Reykjavik for 1 or 2 nights but there was still touring ahead today with three sights.
The first was a stop at Seltun Geothermal area with its bubbling mud pots and steaming water which is both impressive and beautiful; I thought more so than other areas visited and close to Reykjavik.
