Þjóðsögur
Saga og þjóðsögur
Krýsuvík is a geothermal area on the Reykjanes Peninsula with boiling mud pools, steaming fumaroles, sulphur deposits and the striking turquoise Grænavatn crater lake. The area sits above a shallow magma system and the surface activity is visceral — mud pools boiling, steam jetting from vents, the ground warm underfoot. The colours range from the clinical white of silica deposits to vivid yellows and oranges of sulphur. The Reykjanes volcanic zone has been especially active since 2021 with eruptions at Fagradalsfjall; Krýsuvík's geothermal system is part of the same zone. A boardwalk leads through the most active area. Seltún (the main viewpoint) is the most-visited part.
