A mountain range covered wwf with ice away. When out of town, more grass will disappear into a black lava rocks and soil on the hills rise the mountains and the snow away. Some ground white smoke smoldering float. The fumes from hot underground cracks and the smoke pouring out.
Ride for about an hour and a half later we arrived Kerid Crater Lake Crater lake emerald colored wwf blood. There are several crater lakes in this area, known collectively as the Western Volcanic Zone (Iceland's Western Volcanic Zone), but Kerid most famous. Because of its location near the main road to easily, or may be due to the red volcanic rock crater which is still in good condition. Despite the age of about 3,000 years.
