What is called Leirhnjukur is an area of the Krafla caldera around a rhyolite formation (593 meter above sea level). The hill rises less than 50 meters above the surrounding lava field. The rhyolite of the hill is porous due to the geothermal heat and has in several places turned into clay, hence the name “clay hill”.

A beautiful series of photos of this amazing looking volcanic landscape. All very well captured in great light and with superb clarity. This one is my favourite, especially that wonderful sky and clouds.

An interesting link too............thanks for sharing Annemarie.
