Rauðaskál, also known as the Apple Crater, is a stunning volcanic crater located near the Hekla Volcano in Iceland. It's a relatively short hike that can be done in less than an hour, making it a perfect stop if you're in the area. The crater is famous for its vibrant green and red colors, although they might not be as saturated as they appear in photos. But don't worry, the beauty of Rauðaskál is still undeniable, especially when contrasted against the dark and desolate landscape surrounding it. Just keep in mind that Hekla is an active volcano, so it's important to stay updated on any potential eruptions before planning your visit.
