Flying over Seltún Geothermal Area close to Fagradalsfjall, Iceland. Geothermal hot springs and mud pools of Iceland. Drone footage. 4K. Filmed by me. Air 2S. Seltún geothermal area in Krýsuvík is one of the most striking landscapes in Iceland. Steam dominates the area with volcanic vents, fumaroles, mud pots and boiling hot springs. The green hills are painted in earthy colors of golden brown, red, pink, blue, yellow, white and grey.
WHAT IS SELTUN?
Seltún comprises several geothermal fields in the Krýsuvík area on Reykjanes peninsula. It sits right on the doorstep of Reykjavík. Like many other nearby sites, it lies on the fissure zone of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, making it a high-temperature area. This ridge is the reason the entire region is a bit rough and alien-looking, with jagged moss-coated lava and old volcanic craters, rolling hills and amazing rock formations, and bubbling geothermal mud pools. Once you arrive you can leave your car at the spacious parking lot. Next to it is an informative sign explaining all the important geological facts of the area. A well-maintained boardwalk winds through the bubbling and hissing field, making it easy to walk around. Two viewing platforms provide excellent views over the geothermal field.
Visiting Seltún is like stepping into another dimension. Hissing steam is forced out of the earth from geothermal vents as mud bubbles and boiling hot springs. Wherever you step, boiling water bubbles out of the earth left and right with a strong sulfate smell. The smell is completely harmless, but it can be compared to the smell of a rotten egg. Some even say it resembles the smell of the gates of hell. However, the rich and alluring colors of the landscape make up for the smell a thousand times over.
