Discover the remarkable Kerið volcanic crater, one of Iceland’s most captivating natural wonders, with this convenient admission ticket. Located in the heart of the Western Volcanic Zone, Kerið is famed for its striking red volcanic rock and the vivid aquamarine lake that rests at its base, offering unforgettable scenery.
Kerið's caldera stretches 55 meters deep and spans 170 meters wide, surrounded by sloping crater walls blanketed in lush, green moss. Visitors have the unique opportunity to hike down one of these slopes and get up close to the tranquil, mineral-rich waters below, making for incredible photo moments.
Unlike most craters, Kerið was formed when a cone volcano erupted and then collapsed into its own emptied magma chamber thousands of years ago. Today, the shallow lake at the bottom is fed naturally by groundwater rather than rainfall, giving it an enchanting, ever-changing hue.
Your admission grants access to the crater during daylight hours, allowing you to explore at your own pace. Please note that while the ticket covers entrance to Kerið, transportation and guided tours are not included. The meeting point is at the crater’s entrance, where you’ll begin your adventure.
Kerið promises a memorable stop on your Icelandic journey, whether you’re seeking stunning landscapes, geological history, or a peaceful hike. Tickets are limited, so secure your spot today and experience one of Iceland’s geological marvels up close!
