Iceland Travel Journal 冰島旅行日記 18 - 2019.10.17 Krafla 克拉夫拉火山

Day 4's Notes - Continued 繼續第四天的雜記

The Krafla volcanic caldera, situated in the Mývatn region, is a significant geological feature with a diameter of approximately 10 km (6.2 mi) and an associated fissure zone stretching 90 km (56 mi). While its highest peak reaches 818 m (2,684 ft), the caldera descends to a depth of 2 km (1.2 mi). This active system has recorded 29 eruptions throughout history.

Krafla is home to the stunning crater Víti, known for its vibrant green lake. Adjacent to the south of the Krafla area is Námafjall mountain. At the base of Námafjall lies Hverir, a fascinating geothermal area bustling with bubbling mudpools and vigorous steaming fumaroles.

克拉夫拉火山噴火山口位於米湖地區,是重要的地質特徵,直徑約 10 公里(6.2 英里),並有長達 90 公里(56 英里)的裂縫帶。其最高峰海拔 818公 尺(2684 英尺),噴火山口底部深達 2 公里(1.2 英里)。自有史記載以來,這活躍火山系統,已有 29 次噴發記錄。

克拉夫拉火山有令人嘆為觀止的維提 (Víti) 火山口,火山口內碧綠的湖泊尤其著名。克拉夫拉火山口南側毗鄰納馬菲亞爾山 (Námafjall)。納馬菲亞爾山腳下是赫維爾地熱區 (Hverir),這裡遍布沸騰的泥漿池和蒸汽騰騰的噴氣孔,景色迷人。

Víti Crater 維提火山口/地獄火山口

Víti Crater is a 300-meter-wide explosion crater instantly recognizable by its vibrant, aqua-blue water. This unique color is the result of magma interacting with groundwater. Formed by an eruption in 1724, Víti is a key stop along the Diamond Circle route.

維提火山口是一個直徑 300 公尺的火山口,因其明亮的碧藍色湖水而易於辨認。這種獨特的顏色是岩漿與地下水相互作用的結果。維提火山口形成於 1724 年的一次火山爆發,是鑽石圈路線上的重要一站。
