The Grapevine's take
Lake Mývatn
Explore the volcanic region of Lake Mývatn: pseudocraters, lava pillars, craters, lava fields and geothermal pools, plus the moss balls (marimo) that live on the lakebed and almost nowhere else. It is the fourth-largest freshwater lake in Iceland and a nature reserve nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the summer home of fifteen migratory duck species and the only breeding ground in Europe for Barrow's goldeneye. On the eastern shore you can hike through the Dimmuborgir lava field to an elf church; Krafla volcano and the Hverir geothermal field, with its fumaroles and mud pools, are a few kilometres east. Part of the Diamond Circle, the 250-kilometre driving loop through Northeast Iceland.
