Krafla is a volcanic region in northeastern Iceland, known for its geothermal activity and volcanic eruptions. It features a caldera—a large volcanic crater—formed by past eruptions, and is rich in geothermal energy, which is harnessed for heating and electricity. The area has ongoing geological activity, including hot springs and volcanic vents, making it a significant site for both scientific study and renewable energy production. Krafla's landscape is marked by lava fields, steaming vents, and colorful geothermal areas, illustrating Iceland's dynamic volcanic environment.
