A hidden gem on the Golden Circle is the Kerið crater. It is possible to walk on the edges of the crater and to descend down to the water of the crater lake. Scientists believe that the crater wasn’t formed because of an explosive eruption, but that it was a cone-shaped volcano whose foundation collapsed after the depletion of the magma reserve underneath.
