Columns of steam
rise into the air, as
pools of water boil and
churn like some kind
of giant’s cauldron.
In Iceland the planet
reveals its inner work-
ings in astonishing
ways. A top spot to
witness this geolog-
ical phenomena is
at Námafjall in the
northeast part of the
country, just off the
Ring Road. Paths lead
right to the edge of the
action—a hot way to
cool down (or a cool
way to warm up) on
one of the world’s most
dynamic islands.
