Lúdentsborgir

Lúdentsborgir
The crater rows of Lúdentsborgir and Þrengslaborgir (in the background left) erupted ca. 2300 years ago and formed the so called Younger Laxárdalur lava (total volume 2-3 km³) which created Mývatn in its present shape.
The main photo is looking south with the table mountains Bláfjall and Sellendafjall in the background.
The photo in the note is looking north and shows the tuff cone Lúdent which was formed in a hydromagmatic eruption at least 7000 years ago, in the foreground some of the Lúdentsborgir craters.

Die Kraterreihen von Lúdentsborgir and Þrengslaborgir (im Hintergrund links) sind vor ca. 2300 Jahren ausgebrochen und haben die sogenannte jüngere Laxárdalur Lava (Gesamtvolumen 2-3 km³ ) hervorgebracht, die den Mývatn in seiner heutigen Form gebildet hat.
Das Hauptfoto ist nach Süden aufgenommen und zeigt im Hintergrund die Tafelberge Bláfjall und Sellandafjall.
Das PiP zeigt den Tuffring Lúdent im Norden, der vor mindestens 7000 Jahren durch eine hydromagmatische Eruption entstand, davor einige der Lúdentsborgit-Krater.

Danke vielmals, Berny! Ganz nahe bei Mývatn und trotzdem menschenleer, weil nach dem Hverfjall-Parkplatz gleich eine Furt kommt;-)
