Krysuvik Cliffs

Iceland, Krysuvik - Seltun, Reykjanes peninsula

Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed :D

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.

Big thanks to x50 for the track!

Iceland : Valahnukur cliffs ( Reykjanes peninsula ) - drone aerial video

Cliffs Valahnukur consist of layers of peat, pillow lava and rock breccia. Top it created in the explosion and shows the phase of eruption. The cliffs are also home to many species of birds. It stretches away view of the offshore island Eldey of 3 hectares, away from the shore about 14 kilometers. It is inhabited by the world's largest colony morusów, also called głuptakami. It is estimated that the population of approx. 70 thousand. individuals. In the past, the island could also meet Alke huge, but the last individual minted 3 July 1844 year. Eldey mounted on the camera, allowing observation of bird breeding grounds around the clock eldey.is.

On the hill near the cliffs is the oldest, built in 1878, Icelandic lighthouse - Reykjanesviti. It has a height of 31 m. She pointed the way to ships sailing between Europe and America. The original 6m octagonal building collapsed during the earthquake,

How to get to the cliffs Valahnukur?

To reach the cliffs Valahnukur, we follow the road 425 valahnukur-klifyjadąc coast from the town hafnir toward Grindavíku, turn right at the geothermal power plant, a sign directs toward the light (Reykjanesviti), going towards the power plant asphalt road, then turn to the gravel road we pass lighthouse., Coming passenger car to be careful because of the very large and at the same time sharp stones on the way from the lighthouse to the makeshift parking at the cliffs.

Reykjanes Peninsula - Iceland

Iceland Krysuvik Reykjanes peninsula geotermal fields from the sky drone Iceland Seltun

The geothermal area Iceland Krysuvik Krýsuvík is situated on the Reykjanes peninsula. 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.[1]
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.[1]
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.
The music video for the song Never Forget by Greta Salóme & Jónsi was filmed in this area. This song also went to the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan and came 20th in the grand final.

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.

Gunnuhver Hot Springs | Reykjanes Peninsula | Iceland

Steam is the Theme in this video: The Gunnuhver area consists of mud pools and impressing steam vents formed by boiling geothermal water.

Gunnuhver is located between Grindavik and Reykjanes lighthouse on the southwest part of Iceland.

Gunnuhver Hot Springs Iceland Reykjanes peninsula geotermal area shots from drone aerial video

Gunnuhver is the largest geothermal field on the Reykjanes Peninsula. The name derives from the legend of a poor woman named Gudrun.

That woman lived near the village Sanderdi, whose owner was a lawyer Vilhjálmur Jonsson. When Gunn had from which to pay the rent, Vilhjálmur took her only property - kettle for cooking. The woman fell into a frenzy of rage, she refused to drink holy water and died. On the way to the cemetery, the men carrying the coffin, they noticed that it has become suspiciously light, and digging the grave of the people heard the voice, You do not have to dig too deep. I'm not going to lie long. Soon the entire peninsula began to be haunted, ghost Gudrun threatened and harassed locals, while living near the priest Eirikkur Magnusson not pledged to trap him, and through the ruse did not imprison him in a geyser .. Reportedly, these events took place over 300 years ago and notes about Gudrun can be found in the list of Arnie Magnusson from 1703.

After all still believe that bubbling and hissing from the earth is really moaning condemned Gudrun and that the get victims who too licked off the geyser by wearing a cloud of poisonous gas, which after a while melts together with imprisoned in the souls.

In Gunnuhver can observe countless holes in the ground, in the air ejection cloud of gases, and the pool of boiling mud, which give the place gloomy climate.
The explanation of the phenomenon of the place is as interesting as the above legend. Located beneath the earth's surface magma heats seeping through the cracks and port rock sea water, which then evaporates under pressure, bringing to the surface of the earth. Are each other minerals, including a lot of sulfur and sodium chloride.

Walk allow wooden bridges. This is the heart of planned future geo-park, which is an area within which there are important and unique from the geological point of view position.

How to get to the Gunnuhver?

To reach the cliffs Valahnukur, we follow the road 425 valahnukur-klifyjadąc coast from the town hafnir toward Grindavíku, pass the geothermal power station and exit to the lighthouse Reykjanesviti, after a few hundred meters, suggesting a sign, turn right on gravel road leading to the parking lot at Gunnuhver.

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.
