Kerid is a volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area in south Iceland, along the Golden Circle. It has the most visually recognizable caldera still intact. The caldera is composed of a red volcanic rock. The caldera itself is approximately 55 m. deep, 170 m. wide, and 270 m. across. Kerid's caldera is approximately 3,000 years old. While most of the crater is steep-walled with little vegetation, one wall is sloped more gently and blanketed with a deep moss, and can be descended fairly easily. The lake itself is fairly shallow (7–14 meters), depending on rainfall and evaporation. Due to minerals from the soil, its color is an opaque and strikingly vivid aquamarine.
