On our second day in Reykjavik, we did an excursion called "Lunar Landscapes and Viking World Museum". We passed through a volcano crater with a lake in itand then went to Krysuvik Geothermal Area which contains hot springs, bubbling mud pools and steam vents.
Walls of the crater are covered with mosses
