About Katlahraun
„Katlahraun er vestan Selatanga. Hér eru fallegar og óvenjulegar hraunmyndanir sem hafa orðið til við svipaðar kringumstæður og Dimmuborgir við Mývatn. Yfirborð hrauntjarnar hefur storknað niður við fjöruborðið. Kantar hrauntjarnarinnar hafa síðan látið undan þunga hraunsins sem vall undir og það fundið framrás. Eftir stóðu storknaðir og brotnir hraunflekar og hraunstrompar sem mynda sérkennilega katla.“
