| Hveragerdi, or more correctly
Hveragerði
is a small town in the south of Iceland located 45 km to the east of Reykjavík
on Iceland's main ringroad, Route 1. It is the main town of Hveragerði
municipality. The river Varmá runs through the town. The population
is around 1700. The surrounding area is part of the Hengill central
volcano, and is geothermally active and experiences frequent (usually minor)
earthquakes. The town is known for its greenhouses, which are heated by
hot water from volcanic hot springs. An infrequently erupting geyser, Grýla
is at the entrance of the Ölfusdalur valley. The borehole Leppalúði
on the way to the Gufudalur valley erupts continuously, reaching a height
of 10-12 meters. Close to the church is a hot spring called Sandhólshver,
formed during the violent South Iceland earthquake of 1896. A fenced-off
geothermal area in the town has numerous hot springs and fumaroles.
To the south of Hveragerði, there is the small port of Þorlákshöfn,
point of departure for the ferry to the Westman Islands. Read more
