kerid crater

This is a good tourist attraction and the owners of the site are now charging a couple of pounds for entry. Probably worth it, depending upon your personal viewpoint. Our guide had a stern comment to make, however, with the young woman dishing out tickets. There was a good 2" of ice all over the car park and it was quite dangerous even to get out of the jeep, unless you had grippers on your boots. He thought that for the money they had been hauling in, the very least they could do was put some grit or salt down. "We're looking into it" was the comment.

I enjoyed walking the rim of this crater which you can easily and safely do even in winter. From the side farthest from the parking lot you can look out over a forested area so as you make the circle you get a lot of different views of the area.When we were there no one was working the booth but I do think a donation is expected when visiting.

A group of us visited here during March and the area was entirely covered in snow, as expected. The geographical element of the location was really interesting but admittedly there was very little to see during the Winter weather. Would definitely like to go back in the warmer months to see it in its full glory. There is a charge for this, it is a nominal fee but is different to a lot of others places we had visited.

I loved this little crater. The color is surprisingly blue and it s gorgeous on a sunny day the earth around is red and green. It reminded me of a mini Crater Lake, like in Oregon.

Great big volcanic crater in the most desolate, empty landscape I can remember. Very scenic in the winter.

This site is really excellent. You have the possibility to use different pathways around the crater or to go in the crater itself. The colours are really impressive and great to do some photos.There are not many tourists so you can enjoy the place quietly. This is also an advantage if you are a photograph.Last mention: it is free if you are in low season.

Definitely worth visiting if in the area. The colors are amazing and it is a sight to behold. East to find, and memorable.

Geologically very interesting, but harder to explore in winter and not as obvious as lake inside crater frozen and covered in snow. Come spring lovely spot for picnic lunch.

Right next to the main road north from Selfoss. We visited on a cold day in the blizzard but still got amazing views and stunning photos.

We visited in February when it was cold, snowy and very windy. It's well worth a visit, it was iced over when we was there but look absolutely stunning. Would love to go back in the summer.

Well worth a visit, even though we went there in blizzard conditions. It was incredible to think it has been there for over 6000yrs. Bring your own stone if you want to throw something in!!!

Quite picturesque crater which is worth stopping off for a few minutes. Not much else to do other than take a few pictures.

We arrived at a lonely cold car park, not sure what to expect...only to see an amazing frozen volcano....we walked around the outside, and followed the path down to the craters edge....the exitement in dipping our fingers in the icey water was great! My 10, and 12yr old boys loved the adventure!

This site is amazing, I'm not sure what i was expecting but the view was well worth the visit. It was a very cold February day with snow and ice and you have to be careful as there is nothing to stop you falling down the slope but the crater is huge and there is red volcanic rock all around the outside. Not far from the town of Selfoss and easy to reach. There is a small fee but noone was there to take money when we went and it was just open to everyone.
