#pseudocraters
Iceland Day 6: woke up at 5:30 am to get on a bus in Akureyri that went all over Northern Iceland. first stop was at some Pseudocraters, which were pretty cool. there were apparently some in the fog but i was unable to see them on account of the mist

The hot lava boils water and the steam pressure causes explosions, creating clusters of pseudocraters.

Another phenomenon you may see in Iceland is pseudocraters.

One of the best examples are Skútustaðagígar in Myvatn.

Why pseudocraters? Unlike volcanic eruption craters they form when extremely hot thin molten lava flows over wetlands, boiling the water until steam pressure causes explosions.

Post a picture you took to bring some zen to the weekend timeline...

@rmattila74 Mývatn is a neat place, BTW. Full of pseudocraters, neat geothermal / volcanic features, and massive numbers of birds (it's such a dense source of life).
