"Hverfjall Volcano Up near Lake Myvatn looms this immense black volcano. To stand near it is to be humbled, yet again, by the majesty of Iceland 's pure and raw nature. The crater is approximately 1 km in diameter and it's estimated to be around 2,800-2,900 years old. The last time it exploded was 2005."
