Oh yes, you feel the warmth. The smell that immediately hit me was comforting, like you just lit a nice hardwood barbecue, probably from soil and plant material burning when coming into contact with the magma. The crater is loud and deeply rumbly and makes you feel the raw power of the Earth.

But don't you Icelanders find sulfuric smells – the same that much of the world associates with rotten eggs – kinda comforting, too, because since childhood such smells usually accompany hot bath water from the faucets? :)

Haha, well… I'm born and raised in the East fjords where there's little geothermal activity and geothermal heating is thus rare. When I first went to Reykjavik as a kid I nearly vomited when I was introduced with a bathtub full of that sulphuric liquid they called hot water :).
