For such a visually striking feature, this crater lake is surprisingly unnamed on maps.

From my blog post.

Crater Lake, near Vatnaöldur, Highlands of Iceland

Beautiful photographs Rajan...How about we name it "Rajan Parrikar Crater Lake"? Seems more than appropriate to me.

Wow, visually striking indeed, Rajan! I am really drawn to that 2nd image. Love the background lingering clouds and mountains too. This would make an amazing large print that would stop everyone in their tracks who walked by it. Seemingly from another planet...

Rajan, absolutely incredible crater. I love the second image as it shows some clouds and distant landscape. Love your highland series. Good work
I am just in process of working thru my Highland images and I have a similar crater that I shot. No idea of name and or location.

To each and every one of you above: thank you.

Tom: I have written to the naming authority and asked them why it is as yet unnamed. Playfully I suggested ‘Rajansgígur’ or ‘Rajansvatn.’ Gígur = crater, vatn = lake in Icelandic.

Back to look at these again. Very unique beauty, there is a certain stark power in this other-worldly landscape. You have my vote!

Ross: The Highlands of Iceland have the feel of an alien world. They are unique in the sense that while there are places on the planet with features found there, nowhere do you find so many geological features packed into a relatively compact area. You would enjoy photographing there.

It would be cool to experience that landscape first hand. First I’ll need to try and get over my phobia of flying - I have not been on an airplane for the last 6 years due to panic that set in last time, something I increasingly am prone to as I get older when I feel ‘trapped’ in an enclosed space.

Derrick & Parul: Thank you.

Ross: I hear you. I have no fear of flying but I'm a reluctant traveler. The whole airport rigmarole has gotten tiring.

It strikes me now that Crater Lake reminds me very much of a ‘natural’ football stadium, so cool! Maybe I have been watching too much college football, but that is what my imagination is seeing.
