Worth visiting!

Why I recommend this place to visitors

Paradise for bird lovers. And for those who are not, some fabulous volcanic scenery, e.g. pseudocraters. These look like volcanic craters, but were actually formed by gas bursting through surface lava.

Beware of the midges in the summer (Myvatn means “Midge Lake”) – delicious for the waterbirds, a real pain for humans! Though when I was there (early September) there didn’t seem to be any around.

Worth visiting!

Ahh - I love the smell of sulfur in the morning!!

I didn’t see nearly enough of this area in 2000, so will focus a lot on this place when I go back in June/July.
