Today we will tell, but rather to show you one of the most amazing places in Iceland - geothermal valley Hverarond. Boiling fetid and mud springs, pools and holes in the ground where steam is emitted continuously, deposits of sulfur in the mountains and unpleasant odors, all this looks more like another planet.
According to various estimates, the temperature at the center of the Earth is, at least 6650 ° C. The rate of cooling of the Earth is approximately 300-350 ° C in a billion years. In some areas, such as around the edges of continental plates, Earth's crust is much thinner and the hot water reaches the surface.
