Notes: |
Namafjall Hverir (Námafjall Hverir), Iceland - Walking around Namafjall is like being on mars. It's a dramatic change in the landscape, creating a small area with a stark red landscape covered with fumaroles and mud pots. Being a high temperature geothermal area, temperatures can get over 200C 1000 meters down. The fumaroles emit steam and gases such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrochloric acid, and hydrogen sulfide.
