Now we're near Krafla Volcano.

Krafla is a caldera of about 10 km in diameter with a 90 km long fissure zone in the north of Iceland in the Mývatn region. Its highest peak reaches up to 818 m and it is 2 km in depth. There have been 29 reported eruptions in recorded history. 

Anton said Krafla is back over there somewhere.

Hverir is an area of hot springs relatively near the volcano.

Yep, there's something going on under the snow.

Cindy finds a fumarole.

There are plenty around here.

Practically in every direction.

For a cold place there sure is a lot of heat.

You can get right up close to the vents.

That's what this lady's doing.  And speaking of this lady:  She sat next to Anton the driver/guide all day and she asked questions.  Boy did she ever ask questions.  Non-stop questions.  "Do you live on a farm?  Do you have horses?  Do they have names?  And you say that when they're too old to work you eat them?  Well how can you eat them if they have names?"  All day.  Just like that.

Patty is staying warm.

So's Bill.

There are plenty of warm vents to cuddle up to.

In a forbiddingly cold landscape.

The ground is  crunchy underfoot.

It's frozen mud.

Tammy says it looks like a chocolate treat.

OK, Cindy's cold.

Patty's cold.

Tammy's cold.

We're done.

Time to return to the toasty warm van.
