Visited in September 2025, it was an amazing experience. Get a taste of some of the lunar landscapes people speak of. Beautiful and unusual colors, the ground either bubbling or steaming, the sulphur smell is pretty strong at times. MUST visit stop! Hopefully you can catch it with the sun shining because it really makes the colors pop. Pay to park, but free to visit/

Super interesting and unique area with a symphony of colors and textures to treat the eye. In exchange, your nose will suffer from the steamy sulfur fumes. Experience mental gymnastics while trying to comprehend this alien environment that is nothing like anything you have ever seen before. Fascinating plant textures also dot the surrounding area. Note: Cameras scan your license plate as you enter the parking lot, so be prepared to pay for parking.

Super cool place where you can feel the magic of the underworld. Smells like hell of course but if you avoid having your mouth open it's actually really good. You don't have to stand in the middle of the smoke either, that's hard. But incredibly beautiful area with mountains and simmering clay pots, the colors that are different from other areas make it absolutely worth staying. Parking costs money but that's the case in most other places too.

Very cool geothermal spot with bubbling pools of mud and steam. Must pay for parking. Large parking lot. Can walk off the boardwalks to get close to the mud pots. Definitely worth a stop. We spent about one hour here.

This place is definitely a must visit if you’re in the area! Walking through the bubbling mud pots and steam vents is very unique. It reminded us a lot of Yellowstone in the United States, just without the geysers. There was quite a few people there when we visited, but the place is huge, so it did not feel very crowded. This is on private land and they charge you for parking, but it is a very reasonable fee, especially compared to the cost of entry at national parks in the US.

Wow! We came over the small mountain and saw the steam and thermal area. We had to stop! The parking lot is large and can accommodate all vehicle sizes. You do have to pay for parking - they scan your license plate and charge you based on vehicle size. A small vehicle was 1300 idk. Definitely worth it. The area is large and you can walk on the surface (marked) and platforms to see the various thermal pools, vents, and gases. We spent about an hour there. It was awesome. It reminded me of some areas in Yellowstone National Park. You can also do the 2.5 Km hike up to the viewing area. The hike up was very steep and it was wet from rain, so we only went part way up. I would recommend stopping.

Definitely one of the most interesting places in Iceland and the most unique of the many geothermal areas we have visited around the island. Obviously expect crowds but finding a parking spot (cost is typical ISK 1000) was not an issue in mid-September and finding crowd free spots too. Expect also strong notorious egg-smell which my daughter couldn't handle well. Fascinating area!!

Extremely expensive parking fee of 1400isk and is not equipped with free toilets. These are only available to you at an extra cost. The sulphur fields do look cool but beware of the smell and of small children if windy. Could be an accident if the location is windy as the barriers are not very secure. Worth checking out if you're okay with spending so much just on parking. We went on cause we saw lots of cars stopped but maybe would have skipped it if we knew parking would be so expensive.
