srlee“The Hike up Hverfjall” The Hverfjall crater near Mývatn, Iceland, is believed to be one of the largest tephra craters on the planet. It was formed via a steam explosion when magma came into contact with underground water. The crater is 180 meters high at its peak and about 1km across. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/iceland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iceland</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/icelandlandscape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#icelandlandscape</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/icelandphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#icelandphotography</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/crater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crater</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hverfjall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hverfjall</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/landscape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/landscapephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscapephotography</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/landscapephotographer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscapephotographer</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OurPlanetDaily" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OurPlanetDaily</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EarthFocus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EarthFocus</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/photographer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photographer</a>
