Daniel Hritzkiv

Probably the most unexpectedly breath-taking sight in Iceland . Pictures don't do it justice. Also, the other large crater nearby looks out-of-this world.

Maggie MacG

Such a beautiful lake and you can hike around the entire perimeter as well as down to the water's edge. Modest entrance fee can be paid in kronur, Euros, or US dollars.

Jess Williams

Bypass the roped path leading down to the water. Use the grass paths to have a more enjoyable (and safer!) decent to the bottom where you don't have to slip on loose gravel.

Noura Sayed

400 krona entrance fee , but great view and worth it. You can walk down to the crater or up for a full view .. or both! :)

We went in very cold weather. Walk down to the lake was insanely slippery. Don't try it without ice cleats if you see ice on the path and stairs!

Leonidas M.

Beautiful , quick stop. 400 isk entrance ( around 2.80euros ). Be careful on the stairs to the lake .

Edgar Edgar

Amazing place. Make sure you hike up the other volcanos around! Will only take extra 20 mins!

Seda

Lovely. 400isk enterance fee but worth to go.

Dan Castellano

Pales a bit in comparison to other Golden Circle destinations, but worth a walk around the crater

BestTraveller

Pay 450 ikrn for one person. Private place. Cant see anything in winter visit in spring

Lauren D.

worth a stop if driving the golden circle - thought it was a more interesting crater than some of the other huge ones in the northeast

???????????????????????????? ????????????????????????

This little ex-volcano is bigger than expected. Worth the stop even in winter!

Sravanti Tekumalla

Beautiful in the summer! Walk down to the lake , but beware that the water is cold!

Najla Al

Sit and think about how the world could end at any moment but you're here at this gorgeous crater in this life.

Beautiful lake , worth to visit it.

Walk around the crater and enjoy the view . Walk down into the crater and try the water - it is freezing cold!

Great spot for seeing the northern lights between August and May.

Meg Lewis

Beautiful in the summer! Not so beautiful in the winter.

Zach R

400 ISK entrance fee .

Nadya Vasilekk

Michael

Definitely make a stop On Golden Circle trip

Greg S.

Costs $3, €2, or 350 ISK to get in.

Jorge Paiva

Nice place, not much to see

Daphne Goon

Just a crater . Nth much to see. There's entrance fee of ISK400 per person

Derek Kan

Meh. Very overrated, no idea why Bjork performed in the middle of the water here

Frank Rimalovski

Worth a quick stop if driving by but given so many other amazing places in Iceland , you could skip it. Especially considering it was one of few (only?) natural sights places that charged admission.

Nadja Nickl

400 ISK Eintritt. Kinder kostenlos. Parkplatz vorhanden, WC nicht. Oben auf einem angelegten Pfad rumlaufen (Länge 800 m) und keine Pflanzen abreissen. Ein Treppe führt runter ans Wasser . Nett.

Caro C.

Magnifique cratère, magnifiques couleurs.

Alex Novo

Кратеру 6,5 тыс. лет. Здесь выступала Бйорк на специально построенном плоту , а слушатели находились вокруг кратера, т.к. здесь отличная акустика.

Olga Boa

Кстати, это единственная природная достопримечательность за просмотр которой в Исландии берётся оплата.

Gmzinwndrlnd

Bu kadar güzel bir manzara daha önce görmedim

евгения

Один раз Бьерк выступала с концертом на этом озере . Она пела на плоту , а зрители сидели вокруг. Так как там почти идеальная акустика.

Kelly Queiroz

Desça até a borda ! Muito bonito
