Seltún

Seltún

This geothermal area features vibrant mud pools, boiling water, and stunning earth colors, offering a unique and aromatic experience for adventurous tourists.
Seltún is a geothermal field in Krýsuvík and within the Krýsuvík volcanic system. The land is owned by Hafnafjörður town, and they tried many years ago to drill boreholes to utilize the geothermal water there. They managed to drill the holes, but the system exploded some years later.

The area contains mud pools, beautiful earth colors, and boiling water. The smell can be a bit smelly as it is a geothermal area, but it is worth seeing. Not far away from Seltún is Fúli-pollur, or Bad Smelling Puddle.
