Iceland Hidden Gem | Complete Guide to Kerið Crater

🌋 Geological Wonder Colorful Volcanic Rocks: The crater rim is composed of iron-rich red/orange basalt, creating a striking contrast with the azure-blue lake. Formation Mystery: Formed approximately 3,000 years ago by the collapse of a cone volcano, it is 55 meters deep, 170 meters in diameter, with lake depths varying seasonally between 7-14 meters. 📸 Best Ways to Experience It 1️⃣ Hike Around the Crater (~15-minute loop) Observe the intricate layers of volcanic rock up close. At sunset, the walls glow with fiery orange-red hues. 2️⃣ Descend to the Lakeshore (watch for slippery paths) The lake’s mineral content refracts light into a unique cobalt blue. In summer, you can walk around the lake (partial freezing in winter). 🚗 Practical Information Driving Directions: Search "Kerið Crater" on Google Maps; take Route 35 from the Ring Road (Route 1). Entrance Fee: ISK 400 (~$3) per person, includes parking. Best Time to Visit: June–August (open 9:00–21:00) or during winter for Northern Lights viewing at night. 🍽️ Nearby Amenities Recommended Restaurants: ▶ Friðheimar Greenhouse Restaurant (15-minute drive, famous tomato-themed farm-to-table dining). ▶ MIÐ Restaurant (traditional Icelandic cuisine in the town of Reykholt). Accommodation Suggestions: ▶ Hotel Kerið (designer hotel near the crater). ▶ Selfoss Town (20-minute drive, more lodging options). #IcelandHiddenGems #VolcanicCrater #GeologicalWonders #RoadTripGuide#Reykjavík#Kerid Crater
