Hagavíkurlaugar Geothermal Area
We’ve just returned from a little excursion to the Hengill central volcano known for its interesting geothermal phenomena.
The hot springs and mud pots of Hagavíkurlaugar are quite spectacular and located off the beaten track; it takes a good couple of hours to walk there. Once there, you usually find yourself alone with just the sheep, birds, bubbling mud pots and colourful hot springs in an unusual, diverse landscape shaped by volcanic activity.
We’ve come back to this place now for several years and it’s never the same. Due to changes underground, the geothermal features can change quite quickly, making it a unique experience every time.
