Mud Pots
I'm so busy this week I might as well be in Namafjall Hverir (Námafjall Hverir), Iceland. How I wish I were... Walking around Namafjall is like being on mars. It's a dramatic change in the landscape, creating a small area with a stark red landscape covered with fumaroles and mud pots. Being a high temperature geothermal area, temperatures 1000 meters down can get well over 500F.
Of course, you don't have to travel that far to see a mud pot... Yellowstone has a few doozies...![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbiBTFLbS92fELJDD0y54HshB_Bj3SDG_5WRBjgEw_3h-4ELF8ThjCE9oJI99VESJ72GOOKndUo_aa-_ygOi7zD_8YtU-aKMPmyJroSVyIryqLJnCe5eO9qMwfNMF_8HlC7Pxi/s400/Yellowstone_mud_pot_p1090998.jpg)
