Join us on a magical journey to Mývatn, we start by stopping at the beautiful waterfall Goðafoss with its beauty and great history, from there we continue to the wonderful Mývatn with its rough volcanic environment, rich bird life and flora. There we will stop at Skútustaðagígar, Dimmuborgir, Grjótagjá and Hverir.

 

Skútustaðagígar is a cluster of very unique volcanic land formations (pseudo crater) which got formed during a eruption in the area. This type of land formations have only been found in three places in Iceland and then on the planet Mars.

Dimmuborgir (Dark castle) is a unusually dark and rough lava field which contains many volcanic caves and strange lava formations such as “The Church”.

Grjótagjá is a small lava cave near lake Mývatn with a thermal spring inside which was used as a bathing place for centuries until the last eruptions at Mývatn when the water temperature rose to about 60°C.

Hverir has countless of hot mud springs and steam vents in widely different colours.
