Description
The mountains encircling the area are remarkably multicoloured since they are mostly made from sour magma that was cooked in the magna chamber of a volcano located by Torfajokull glacier south of Landmannalaugar. The Torfajokull-area is richer in rhyolite than any other region in Iceland and is the country´s second largest high temperature geothermal area next to Grimsvotn in the Vatnajokull glacier. The sour-magma and the geothermal heat is located within a huge chamber – the biggest of its kind in Iceland.
