Námaskarð in Mývatn, Iceland, is a geothermal area renowned for its otherworldly landscape. Situated near Lake Mývatn, this area features boiling mud pots, steaming fumaroles, and vibrant mineral deposits in shades of red, orange, and yellow. The sulfur-rich environment creates a pungent, distinctive smell, while the lack of vegetation gives it a stark, almost lunar appearance.
