meermaar-0893-sm.JPG

The Meerfelder Maar.
The results of a volcanic explosion about 25,000 years ago which made a circular bowl about 2 kilometers in diameter and several hundred meters deep.
Large amounts of magma came into contact with huge amounts of ground water and the resulting explosion and clouds could be seen in Iceland!
