Icelandic Volcano Crater
If Iceland is a pearl tear accidentally dropped by God,
then the Kerið crater lake,
is the tear drop hanging on the eyelashes of Iceland, this cold and stunning beauty.
-
Not far from the capital Reykjavik,
it is the only volcanic crater in Iceland that charges an entrance fee
-
🔹 Attraction Name:
Kerið crater lake
-
🔹 Attraction Introduction:
Years have allowed the Kerið crater to experience a millennium of time. Surrounded by mostly steep cliffs,
it is 270 meters long, 170 meters wide, and 55 meters deep, while the lake inside changes with the angle of the sunlight, with the deepest part being 14 meters.
The gathering of ice and snow water,
makes the lake water here cold, clear, and transparent. It is like a pearl, lost in a desolate place, desolate and magical.
-
This crater lake is very beautiful, oval-shaped, in summer, the lake is deep blue, in autumn it is green, in winter it is sometimes silvery white, sometimes gray. This time the frozen lake surface was captured, looking like an ice rink, while the surrounding soil shows a bright red color,
in summer the surrounding cliffs are covered with green grass and green moss, and in autumn they turn into golden yellow grass leaves.

Iceland travel guide for students, averaging 9k for a 6-day Christmas Aurora tour
💐The comfort and joy of Iceland really intoxicates people, especially from December to March, which is the season of the Aurora dance🙌, suitable for chasing the Aurora.
💯I really recommend everyone to join the tour without stepping on the pit.
👇There are many good local tours in Iceland, and we had a great time with the local tour this time, mainly reliable.
💗To sum up my personal feelings: I think the local tour we reported this time is super cost-effective, and it only costs more than 9k per person. The accommodation, transportation, and tour guide are all included. If you need it, you can ask me for recommendations👍
⚠️⚠️Iceland travel precautions
🔶Don't worry about how many thick clothes to bring, you must bring them! The sunshine is short, the temperature drops when it rains, and you don't want to freeze into a dog in Iceland. Down jackets can also be bought on the spot. Many local brands are of good quality and cheap.
🔷If you are afraid that the price of meals is too high, you can bring less clothes, and you can bring more chocolate, instant noodles, and small dishes.
🔶The scenery of the black sand beach is still good, and it is more suitable for cloudy days and black sand beaches⚠️Stay away from the sea, the seemingly calm sea will have sudden torch waves.
🔷The Blue Lake is affected by the volcano and has been temporarily blocked. It may open in December, mainly depending on the volcano.
🔶Diamond Beach needs to pick a clear day to go, it's really beautiful when it shines, and it's more out of the picture when you wear white or light colors.
🔷Sisters who travel freely, drive carefully, can use translation documents without an international driver's license, the highest speed limit is 90, speeding fines! Don't park illegally/opposite direction when parking.
🔶Iceland is Schengen, but it does not belong to the EU. Remember to refund the tax before leaving Iceland, and you can submit the tax refund form at the airport.
