概要
クイックファクト: 泡立つ泥の池から蒸気が立ち上り、遊歩道を歩いた瞬間に強い硫黄の香りが鼻をつく。地表下1メートルの地温は120°Cを超えることが多く、高架の道が訪問者を熱湯の噴気孔から数メートル安全に離している。
見どころ: 地元の伝説によると、18世紀にグンヒルドゥルという女性が蒸気の噴気孔に飲み込まれたといい、特定の噴気のそばに長く留まった多くの人々が、そのシューという音の中にささやき声を聞いたと断言する。風の強い日に近くに立つと、顔に熱を感じ、塩を含んだ海の霧とミネラル豊富な蒸気が空を黄色や黄土色に染める。非現実的なその光景を写真家たちはゴールデンアワーのショットとして追い求める。
インサイダーヒント
- Wear windproof, waterproof outer layers and sturdy shoes; steam and spray can make surfaces slippery.
- Stay on marked boardwalks and observation platforms to protect fragile ground and for safety.
- Photograph from the raised platform or the eastern boardwalk for the best compositions of steam with the coastline in the background.
- Avoid coach arrivals around midday by visiting early or late to reduce crowds and avoid when the wind shifts and smells are strongest.
