Rauðaskál, also known as the Apple Crater, is a vibrant and colorful volcano crater park located near the Hekla Volcano in Iceland. The short hike to the crater offers stunning views of the unique red and green hues of the landscape, contrasting with the dark surroundings. Visitors can enjoy a relatively easy hike to the top of the crater, where they can marvel at the beauty of this natural wonder and take in the panoramic views of the volcanic scenery. Just remember to keep an eye out for any potential volcanic activity from nearby Hekla!
