Also found on Iceland's 'golden circle' tour, is this inactive volcanic crater, Kerid (Kerið). The inactive volcanic slag crater, Kerið, was reportedly formed about 6,500 years ago, and measures approximately 270 meters long, 170 meters wide, and 55 meters deep. The colour of the water is striking, which is a result of the natural minerals below. This crater is unique as it is made up of red volcanic rocks, which is unlike most craters and volcanoes which are composed of black rock.
