Kerid Crater is a striking volcanic crater lake with vivid blue waters and colorful volcanic rock formations. Formed approximately 6,500 years ago, the crater is about 180 feet deep and 558 feet wide, creating a dramatic natural amphitheater. The surrounding slopes are characterized by red and orange hues, a result of the iron-rich volcanic rock, which contrasts beautifully with the deep blue water of the lake.
You can take a leisurely walk around the rim of the crater, where several viewpoints offer stunning panoramas of the lake and the surrounding landscape. The walking path is relatively easy to navigate, making it accessible to a wide range of visitors. Along the way, you can appreciate the unique geology of the area and the diverse plant life that thrives in this geothermal environment.
The water in Kerid is often noted for its striking color, influenced by the mineral content and the light conditions, making it a popular spot for photography. The lake is also home to various aquatic life, further enhancing its ecological significance.
