Visit Námaskarð and explore the awe-inspiring landscape of intense colours, hot springs, and acidity! Situated between the majestic Jökulsá á Fjöllum river waterfalls and Route 1 in north Iceland, this powerful geothermal site is a must-see for travelers. Expect to smell the pungent aroma of sulphur throughout this moonscape and admire the incredible hues of red, orange, yellow, and even green that coat its slopes. Be sure to maintain a safe distance from any running water or hot springs, as they are likely boiling. An unforgettable experience awaits - visit Námaskarð and immerse yourself in unique volcanic wonders!

Located along road 1, very easy to access
