Overview of Fjallabak

Fjallabak Nature Reserve

The entire area is characterized by colorful mountains, geothermal valleys and volcanic activity. The color is due to the fact that rhyolite and obsidian give the earth green, blue, pink, red and yellow shades. Lava fields, rivers and lakes also leave their mark on this nature reserve.
