Krísuvík, the ever so often forgotten pearl.

The Krisuvik Tour

Just south east of Reykjavik is Krisuvik, actually on a back road to the Blue Lagoon and the Int. Airport. It is a place where you will find hot springs, mud pools and clay pits in a hillsides to a volcanic mountain ridge created mostly in Holocene eruptions from under a glacier and more recent.

There you find the lake Kleifarvatn surrounded by mountains on three sides. Small grassy panes with grazing live stock and the Foul pit. A hot clay/mud pit almost hidden from view even if it is right next to the road. Greenlake, a crater lake with its emerald colored water so eerie and strange.

At Krisuvik you almost travel back in time to when man and nature were coexisting in harmony and machine hadn’t made it’s mark on time.

A very short part day tour for the timeless that still want to see the essence of Iceland first hand.
