Inside the Thrihnukagigur Volcano
Iceland is one of the most active volcanic regions in the world because the Eurasian and North American plates are moving apart. In the center of this ridge sits the Thrihnukagigur volcano. The unpronounceable name could be translated by “3 peaks crater”. The volcano last erupted over 4,000 years ago. A huge 120 m deep, bottle-shaped volcanic chamber, measuring 50×70 m at the bottom can be visited thanks to https://insidethevolcano.com. The beauty of the crater mostly consists of the various colorations found.
