Hraunfossar is a series of waterfalls formed by rivulets streaming over a distance of about 900 meters out of the Hallmundarhraun, a lava field which flowed from an eruption of one of the volcanoes lying under the glacier Langjökull. The waterfalls pour into the Hvítá river from ledges of less porous rock in the lava. The name hraun comes from the Icelandic word for lava - Borgarfjordur - West Iceland.

Columnar basalt in Gerduberg - Southwest Iceland.
Columnar Basalts are rock formations resulting from the quick cooling of lava flow. Fractures form in a random cellular network (similar to soap bubbles, organic cells, etc.), though the average distribution of sides is six, giving the hexagonal structures an eerie man-made appearance.

The 320m-wide explosion crater was created in 1724 during the destructive Mývatnseldar, and it’s just one of many vents along the Krafla central volcano - Northeast Iceland.

Skútustaðagígar pseudocraters in Lake Mývatn. This lake was created about 2300 years ago by a large fissure eruption pouring out basaltic lava. By repeated explosions in a number of locations, groups of craters built up and now dominate the landscape on the shore of Lake Mývatn and also form some of the islands in the lake. This type of lava formation is known as pseudocraters - Northeast Iceland.

Strokkur geyser in the geothermic region beside the Hvítá River. Strokkur is only a few meters away from Geysir. However, unlike Geysir which erupts infrequently and may be dormant for years at a time, Strokkur erupts very reliably every 5-10 minutes, hurling boiling water to heights of up to 20 metres towards the sky. Geysers are formed when geothermally heated water becomes trapped in narrow fissures. The water at the surface cools, whereas the water below the ground becomes superheated, eventually turning into steam and blasting out the cooler water above it - Southwest Iceland.
