September 22, 2025 -- One of the last places we visited was Kerið Volcanic Crater in South Iceland (Golden Circle). According to the web site, "Kerið was not formed by a volcanic explosion, but rather a cone volcano that erupted and emptied its magma reserve. The weight of the cone then collapsed into the empty magma chamber, creating the current crater. The water in the bottom of the crater is at the same level as the water table and is not caused by rainfall."
