About
Road to Kerlingarfjöll - the colorful steaming mountains. No rivers until you pass the resort.
Your brain refuses to believe these colors are real. Photos look edited. They're actually undersaturated compared to reality. It breaks your mind a little.
Name means 'Old Woman's Mountains' - there was a rock that looked like one, now collapsed. People used to think the steam was dangerous. The resort only opened in 2000.
Book the resort 6 months early for summer weekends. No joke. The road beyond to Hveradalir gets rough - check before you go. Bring food, no restaurants in the valley.
