As we reach Lake Myvatn we have several stops around the lake with short walks in lava fields, the geothermal area and amongst the unique pseudo craters and other wonders in the area.

Dettifoss is truly a breathtaking natural wonder! The raw power and size of the waterfall make it a mesmerizing sight to witness. It's impressive how the force of the water creates such a powerful sound and mist that envelops the surroundings.
