About Lake Mývatn
The Mývatn region is a geologist's playground: pseudocraters at Skútustaðir, the lava labyrinth of Dimmuborgir, steaming Hverir mud pools, and the relaxing Mývatn Nature Baths. Rich birdlife makes the lake itself a haven in summer.
When to visit
Lush and birdfilled in summer; quiet and steamy with aurora potential in winter.
