Skútustaðagígar

Skútustaðagígar is the name of a row of pseudo-craters in north Iceland. The Skútustaðagígar Craters are found in the Lake Mývatn area, which is very volcanic, being near to the Krafla volcano system. The nature of the lake itself and the volcanism of the region both led to the creation of these unusual formations. During an eruptions, lava ran across the area of Skútustaðagígar, which at the time was swampy wetlands. The heat caused steam eruptions, which resulted in their crater-like shape. As they were not the sources of lava, or volcanoes in themselves, they are not considered true craters.

 
Have watched all your series and have to say that I've enjoyed all. Not only for seeing the editing and composition, but for seeing a place that I'll not get to go to.
