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.

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.
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!

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.

The geothermal area Krýsuvík
KRYSUVIK (SELTUN) Geotermal Area & GRAENAVATN Lac (Iceland)
KRYSUVIK (SELTUN)
Es un área geotermal muy popular y con muchos e interesantes caminos para explorar. Es también conocida como Seltun.Allí podemos observar piscinas de agua termales y de barro hirviendo, solfataras, fumarolas...Toda la zona desprende un peculiar olor a huevos podridos debido al azufre.
GRAENAVATN
Es un lago de 46 metros de profundidad que forma parte del área geotermal de Krysuvik. Sus aguas son de un color verdoso debido a las algas que allí se forman por el agua termal.

This is more for the shot than the location. Mike is admiring some of the hot springs and mud pots in Krysuvik, Iceland during our June 2009 trip. Sorry for the annoying talking over the video.

Iceland : Eldvörp Reykjavegur
Support our channel :
Eldvorp is a crater row of scoria and spatter cones located northwest of Grindavik on the Reykjanes peninsula in Southwest Iceland.Eldvörp is a geosite in Reykjanes Unesco Global Geopark.
The area has extensive geothermal activity, emanating steam of about 280 degrees Celcius. The lava from the crater row is one of the most extensive Holocene lava flows on the Reykjanes Peninsula, covering about 20 km2.
In former times, local women would bake their bread in the warm steam of Eldvorp.
