Ljótipollur, also known as the 'Ugly Puddle' (even though it's stunning), is an explosion crater and crater lake in Iceland's southern Highlands.

Surrounded by red lava rock and lush green vegetation, this hidden gem is a must-see for hikers exploring the Fjallabak Nature Reserve.

Accessible via Landmannalaugar, it's a perfect spot to add to your Icelandic adventure for some epic views and a touch of rugged beauty.
