About Hverabotn Geothermal Area
Hverabotn is a powerful high-temperature geothermal area in Kerlingarfjoll and one of the mountain range's three major hot-spring areas. It contains vigorous fumaroles, mud pots, pools and steam vents in a colourful geothermal valley. The activity is associated with the western caldera of Kerlingarfjoll and the area is more remote than Lower Hveradalir. Hverabotn lies within the Kerlingarfjoll nature reserve, where geothermal ground is both fragile and extremely hot in places. Visiting requires hiking and good preparation.
