Ljótipollur, often translated as "the ugly puddle," is a stunning volcanic crater located in the Landmannalaugar region of Iceland. Despite its somewhat unflattering name, Ljótipollur is renowned for its breathtaking beauty, characterized by a striking blue lake nestled within its steep, colorful slopes. The crater was formed during a volcanic eruption, and its unique geological features are a testament to the dynamic volcanic activity that has shaped the landscape of Iceland.

The surrounding area of Landmannalaugar is part of the Fjallabak Nature Reserve and is famous for its geothermal activity, vibrant rhyolite mountains, and diverse hiking trails. The contrasting colors of the terrain—ranging from reds and greens to yellows and blues—create a surreal backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts and photographers. The crater itself is often a highlight for hikers exploring the Laugavegur Trail, one of Iceland's most popular trekking routes.
