Dynkur (Búðarhálsfoss)

Enormous, 38 m high waterfall with complex structure. There are several steps but the river has cut a chasm through these steps in the northern side of the valley. Width of the waterfall is hard to measure due to this complex morphology, but the river here is around 100 m wide. An interesting feature is a hoodoo – standing rock in the middle of the falls.

Barnafoss

A group of rapids and smaller waterfalls on Hvítá river. Below the falls on the right bank of the river start Hraunfossar – another very impressive waterfall.

Eyvindarhver

Hot spring that at some periods (late 19th century) has acted as a geyser erupting up to 0.5 m high. Earlier there were placed boulders around the spring (to cook meals), now the boulders are covered with sinter and spring looks ghostly.

Bláhver

Unusual thermal spring – large pool with misty blue water and white rims of sinter.

Öskurhóll

Large fumarole with an impressive sinter cone. Earlier it was very noisy and emitted frightening noises.

Rauðihver

Intermittent hot spring that has bright orange, muddy sediments. In 2008 – 2009 this spring was erupting up to 1.5 m high – then it was a true geyser.

Grænihver

The largest geyser in Hveravellir Geothermal Field. The large, beautiful green-blue pool of hot spring is erupting up to 3 m high.

Gamli Fagrihver

Former geyser that erupted up to 45 m high (!) in the 19th century. Now – just a large sinter cone with 95 degrees C hot water inside. Geyser was active up to 1930ies.

Fagrihver

Hot spring of unusual beauty. The spring has built a cone of numerous white sinter layers and gradually is closing itself – but the eye of deep blue water still is seen.

Bóluhver

Thermal spring of unusual beauty. It is 90 degrees C hot, layered with snow-shite sinter and has deep blue water.
