The volcanic activity at Krafla (Northern Iceland) is episodic, occurring every 250-1000 years. The most recent eruption started in 1975 and lasted about ten years. A large area of about 15 km² is now covered by a 1 km deep hyaloclastite and basaltic lava layers and steaming fumaroles dominate the landscape.
