Lavafeld Dimmuborgir

It is a large area of unusually shaped lava fields,  volcanic caves, and rock formation. The Dimmuborgir area consists of a massive, collapsed lava tube formed by a lava lake flowing in from a large eruption in the Þrengslaborgir and Lúdentsborgir crater row to the East, about 2300 years ago.[3] At Dimmuborgir, the lava pooled over a small lake.
