I had great fun visiting this feature in person in August of 2022. I would definitely recommend performing the short hike around the crater rim. Any questions about it or the broader Grimsnes volcano?

I also visited Kerid Crater in person when I stayed in Iceland last year. I thought it was like any other volcanic cone in Iceland when I was there and did not know it is such a geologic oddity, so thank you for the video explaining its formation.

So, just like a caldera, but tiny. Volcanoes are full of so many surprises.

It's nice how you showed clips of yourself checking it out in your orange jacket you wore the first time you showed your face on KZread. In my opinion you should wear that bright jacket every time you go visit a volcano. So your subscribers can see you are there from a mile away and say hi!

2:24 a plume rising 1km per day blows my mind! I had no idea a volcanic process could happen that quickly.

I’m basing that tidbit off of the august 2022 Fagradalsfjall eruption.

I have to point out that the name of this crater isn't Kerid, but Keri-eth. This is because the last letter of it's name isn't an English 'd' but an Icelandic letter that looks like a 'd' with a horizontal line struck through the upright, and is pronounced 'eth'. I learned this during a stay in Reykjavik, when talking to the hotel receptionist one day. She kindly explained about the unusual letters in their alphabet, of which this strange 'not-a-D' was one.

It’s important and respectful to try and do your best to pronounce another language right. Particularly places like this and in the sense that he’s giving an educational talks and even risk advisories at times with these videos. It’s hard a lot of the time to pronounce even words in one’s native tongue for any number of reasons. He has a habit though of being sloppy or even pronouncing it right then wrong in the same video giving the impression he’s doing one takes and churning em out. There are a lot of cool people like this guy who do similar All be a different topic videos like this on KZread and a number of them at least say “hey sorry if I mess this up it’s hard my b”. I wish he would at least just do that. This video is just one of a lot of examples of that. And I really like his stuff so I hope he does attempt to do better.

I went to this crater about 4 years ago, the lake was frozen and people walked on the lake. It's very photogenic too because of the array of colours.

Thanks for the shout out!! Always enjoy your videos and looking forward to your expanding geological content!

The only place I have seen scoria rock is on oil pads in North Dakota. It was the most common rock used for ground cover on the site/pad. Not sure why. It is a pain to walk and work on though. Big old ankle busters. I always wondered where it came from, but nobody knew the specific location. Just that it was from volcanos.

I just saw a red volcanic crater in Chile (on the latest video in Snow and Curt's van tour of the middle and south American countries). I wondered what the composition of the volcanic rock in that singular crater is. I thought it might be oxidized iron, but now I bet it is scoria. I learn so much here!

I was thinking at the start of the video, "That looks like a cinder cone," glad to discover I was right!

How fitting, last week I stood on the ice in the crater and now i get this recommanded.

I got a interesting idea for a video. Look into geologic oddities called "Carolina Bays" most prominent in north/south Carolina. Large, shallow and oval shaped lakes all lined the same direction almost. South east side tends to have a higher sand bank than any of the other shores on them. Also noted bays have been found in Nebraska also and point towards Michigan, along with the ones on the east coast. Rather weird formations.. these are also found in Alaska as well.

I've been there!

Would love to visit Iceland someday, their nature is absolutely beautiful

Ok who's the one wise guy that disliked this video?

Fascinating stuff. Never knew such a thing existed.

Was a beautiful day when we visited. Spectacular site!

we love these videos

I'd like to request the topic, "what evidence (if any) exists in the geologic record, of cosmic ray events, such as the Miyake Events - such as the 774-775 carbon-14 spike? What other traces of cosmic events can be detected in Earth's geology?"

Keep it up ❤️❤️

Not an icelandic speaker here, but the letter that looks like a 'd' with a stroke through the top is called 'eth' (kind of like "the" backwards), and is a single letter for the sound we hear in "the" except it never occurs at the beginning of the word. So, geology wise, wouldn't it be correct to call this a micro-caldera, since it seems to be formed by the same mechanism--the evacuation of a magma chamber?

There are two holes in the ground that look just like that near Mammoth Mountain, California. Inyo craters.

This is breaking from yesterday The AVO from USGS has lowered the alert level from Orange to Yellow on both the Tanaga and Takawangha because of the rapid decrease of the earthquake swarm on both volcanoes.

We enjoyed hiking around the ridge of this crater. Now I know how it formed.

I would love to be able to turn a sink hole into a tourist trap. ;+)

Hey GeologyHub, can you do a video on why the plains of Nantucket are the only other region on planet earth that share the same landscape and climate of the African savannah?

Its like a miniature caldera

My first guess with the word “crater” that it was made by a small meteorite. Only humans would believe that they have to maintain a hole in the ground, and charge other humans to do it.

The correct spelling is Kerið. It's pronounced Kerith (ith similar to English with). If you can't use the special ð letter, you can write Keridh. Your automated speech generator also had a little problem with Fagradalsfjall. What would it make of Þingvellir, that very geologically interesting place? As you say, Kerið is geologically interesting because it formed differently from most other small craters with water in the bottom. But unless you are a real geology freak, it's just a crater with water in the bottom, and of rather moderate scenic interest in comparison to what else there is to see. I've been to Iceland many times, seen many scenically interesting craters with water in, and I certainly wouldn't pay even that modest 450 ISK to see Kerið. But I suppose it is included on many day trips out of Reykjavík because it is quick and easy to visit while you are on a Golden Circle (Geysir, Gullfoss, Þingvellir) day tour.
