A stunning lake is good, but a stunning lake inside a volcanic caldera is simply better. Kerið Crater is a popular stop in the southern part of the Golden Circle, presenting sharp contrasts between the opaque blue-green lake and reddish volcanic rocks. Researchers found no evidence of a volcanic explosion, leading to the conclusion that when Kerið volcano last erupted some 3.000 years ago, it emptied its magma reserve, causing the heavy cone to collapse into the empty magma chamber. Contrary to common belief, the current pool that can be seen in the crater is not caused by rainfall but is at the same level as the water table.
