Gateway To Hell – Námaskarð, Iceland
Is this a Gateway into Hell? It certainly bolstered the idea that Hell was/is at the center of the earth and contains FIRE AND BRIMSTONE.     At the foothills of this spectacular volcanic mountain is an expanse of hot springs called Hverarönd or Hverir that are known for their changing variety. You may also find a number of fumaroles, mud pools and mud pots that all seem to be boiling with relentless energy. The pass Námaskarð is strategically located at a short distance from the Krafla volcano system as well as other interesting geological spots like Búrfellshraun and the desert Mývatsöræfi. While visiting Námaskarð, you must not miss the Heißquellengebiet, lava formations of Dimmuborgir, pseudo craters of Skútustaðir and the historic waterfall Goðafoss by the road. colonists thought of this volcano as the gateway to hell when they first visited it, and with news of such a place getting back to the clergy came the REINFORCEMENT of the idea of Hell as a lake of fire and brimstone. additionally, the sounds that eminated from this volcano were thought to be the moans and cries of the damned being dragged into hell by demons.(cited from History channel Documentary)  · |

Re: Gateway To Hell – Námaskarð, Iceland
I really really really want to go to Iceland some day and see such places. Ice and fire.
