Lake Myvatn is one of the most scenic places in Iceland mostly because of the magical landscape created by the geothermal powers which created the island. Be prepared to enjoy a magical landscape filled with alluring craters and striking lava formations.
When we arrive at the Lake Myvatn area, we stop at Skutustadir, known for its symmetrically formed pseudo craters, which are among the best known in the world. From Skutustadir there is a also good view of Lake Myvatn and the mountains around the lake.

Then we head to the geothermal area of Hverir at Namaskard, one of the most spectacular places in the country, with it's solfataras (boiling sulphur mudpits) and widely different colours.
A short break to have a refreshment (not included) before the next destination: the Waterfall Godafoss, famed not only for its beauty, but also as the scene of historical events from the saga times.
