Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Located in the caldera of a long-extinct volcanic crater, the Kerid Crater Lake is another of Iceland’s unique natural wonders. What makes this particular lake so special are the remarkable colors that surround it; the lake itself is a particularly bright shade of sapphire that Mother Nature has enhanced with the unique red color of the surrounding volcanic rocks and areas of bright green moss.
For a small fee you can walk around the crater rim and even descend into the crater to reach the edge of the lake. Kerid Crater Lake can be easily accessed along the popular Golden Circle route in southern Iceland. Map
