6 Hr Myvatn Hot-Springs, Waterfall & Volcanoes Tour From Akureyri

It is one of the north’s most famous waterfalls. The falls are a symbol of Icelandic Christianisation.

The falls are 12 meters high and 30 meters wide. The juxtaposition of the white foamy water against the stark black volcanic rock face makes for a good photo opportunity.

It is a large shallow lake, the 4th largest in Iceland. Dotted with countless islands, the lake is most noteworthy as the location of unique geological features, the Skutustadirgigur pseudocraters.

Also known as rootless craters, lava did not erupt from these craters, though they do resemble true volcano craters.

Next stop is the gothic lava formations at Dimmuborgir. The lava formed into dramatic shapes and alluring structures which make this one of the most popular natural attractions in north Iceland.

Mývatn was largely formed through vast ancient eruptions of lava. But at Namaskard, also known as Hverir, you can see evidence of ongoing geothermal activity. Namaskard is renowned for the beautiful color of the rocks and ground, which can be attributed to the minerals in the ground. The area brims with boiling mud pots and the odour of sulphuric steam emanates from the earth.
