Tourist attractions Kerid Crater

Kerid crater is located in the southwest of Iceland, within the famous Golden Circle. It is a volcanic crater about 55 meters deep, with a lake at the bottom that stands out for its turquoise-blue waters, surrounded by red and black volcanic rock walls. This striking color contrast makes it a must-see stop along the route, offering one of the country’s most unique landscapes. Visitors can walk along the rim or descend to the lake’s edge, enjoying different perspectives of this natural wonder.

Kerid is approximately 3,000 years old, which makes it relatively young compared to other volcanic craters in Iceland. An interesting fact is that occasional concerts have been held here, where musicians use the natural acoustics of the crater to create unique experiences, turning this geological formation into an unforgettable open-air stage.
