Cracks and fissures....
This is a top pick! ... craters venting the Krafla volcano field - its energy fuels Kroflustod Power Station, one of the largest geothermal power plants in Iceland. They started to build the plant in 1973 but were thwarted by something like 9 eruptions in 1975, ...
Fizz, bang, bubble and pop
This is a top pick! So, here I am in Myvatn the fizz, bang, bubble and pop capital of Iceland! The weather has treated me well, so for that I´m grateful - a much needed reprieve from the wind has been well received. It´s not exactly tropical, but hey I´m ...
Myvatn
I had a nightmare the other night that a volcano erupted and swallowed my beautiful Amigo (my car). I woke up and saw steam rising in the sky and for a second I thought the dream was real. But it was only the steam rising from the ground at Kafla ...
Ice Land. North. Cold.
... . The other nights I added a third shirt and it was less cold outside, so those were more comfortable. I was excited to see northern Iceland in part because it borders the Arctic Ocean. I guess that should have been a clue that it would be cold. But it ...
Day 6. Breidhdalsvik to Myvatn
... looking annoyed at being delayed, and headed to Egilsstadir where the rental company had called an N1 (petrol station chain in Iceland) who helped cardboard the window up. After this i wanted nothing more than to get to my hotel here in Myvatn and ...
Just one more joy ride
... ;then got the bike out (so much for a no bike day) and went out around the various bubbling and steaming areas and around Myvatn lake. This is the penultimate night, the trip is almost over. After dinner I had another ride out to ...

Myvatn
Hallo, von Akureyri ging es zum Myvatn See, einem der touristischen Zentren Islands, da es hier einiges zu sehen gibt, einen der groessten und voegelreichsten Seen der Insel, aber auch viel vulkanische Sehenswuerdigkeiten. Hatte ausserdem gehofft, von ...
journées autour du lac myvatn
... les chutes de Goðafoss, « chutes des dieux » Le soir, arrivée au camping, au bord du lac Myvatn, à Reykjalid Vendredi 11 juillet: Aujourd'hui rando. On commence par un arrêt aux solfatares de Hverarön/namafjall : ...
It smells worse than me!
... nbsp; We are able to divert around it through a farm. We make Akuyeri by 16:30 and it is only 97km to Myvatn so we go for it and find a very nice campsite right on the lake side, perfect. Another dose of pasta then off to the Jardbodin ...
A feast
So I am still at that one lake. It´s nice not having to pack up everything every morning and just to stay in one spot for a while. I rented a poj(piece of junk) moutain bike today. It was so much fun, Luc (i spelled it wrong yesterday) and I went biking ...
Driving along to Irish and Icelandic music
... . I'd been told that the foggy weather might lift come mid-morning so I was hoping that by the time I returned to the Lake Myvatn area, the weather would have improved. Alas, it stayed cloudy and therefore a tad dark almost all day. I set off at ...
My=midge...Vatn=Lake
We had a leisurely drive from Husavik to Myvatn. The name of the lake implies that there are lots of flies and we heard that this was true...but it wasn't bad at all. And the weather had changed and it was actually warm and sunny! This ...
Pistachio popsicles
... . Its great meeting all sorts of people. So yesterday I learned a brazilian martial art from a swiss guy who I thought was jamaican in Iceland. He he he I love saying that!Luc taught me Capiora (i think I spelled it wrong but it sounds like ka-pwea-da). ...
Day7. Jokulsargljufur
... today. The weather has continued to be grey and windy, and today was the first day that i'd call cold since arriving. The Myvatn area is a little 'flat' after the amazing mountains and glaciers of the south so i was not really overly inspired to do that ...
Le lac magique de Myvatn
La région du lac de Myvatn est l'une des plus riches en sites spectaculaires de l'Islande. Nous décidons de les visiter dans l'ordre indiqué par notre guide. C'est Dimanche, il fait très beau, le vent souffle légèrement, le thermomètre annonce 15 ...
Day 6. Dettifoss at dusk
Decided to head out and check out the Dettifoss waterfall at sunset. Summer sunsets here take hours and never really set so it gives some pretty amazing light for photos. The waterfall was amazing. Huge and powerful with tonnes of water and spray ...
Side-stepping hot springs with Senior Citizens
... hot minerals, and ooh!! The smell!! Getting a whiff of that helped me to connect the dots as to why all the water in Iceland's taps and shower heads has a bit of a bad odor to it. The whole water supply must be swimming with minerals from their hot ...
Volcanoes and Mud Pots and Bears, Oh My!
... when lava cools relatively quickly. The basalt essentially chrystalizes into hexagonal columns. There are more impressive columns elsewhere in Iceland, but these were the easiest to reach by car. They are out on the Snaefellsness peninsula, an area ...
It's Tuesday walk day
... Tuesdays at home is a day for walking so I am keeping up the tradition and following some of the walking routes around Myvatn, I have picked out a 14km walk which goes towards, up and over an extinct volcano on to a viewpoint, a small loop then ...
Objectif Lune suivi de On a marché sur la Lune
Aujourd'hui, nous ajouterons au voyage le plaisir du voyage interspatial, sans avoir recours à la NASA qui nous demandais trop. Nous partons de la base de Stukustadir, un peu rustique, mais très sûre néanmoins. Elle se trouve à côté de l'usine ...
And the road trip continues...
Another hour or two down from Myvatn, we made our way to the Lake Myvatn area, which is rich with wildlife and vegetation...On the road there we had to endure a very bumpy gravel road...at many points during the drive I feared for my life as the roads ...

Whales
After a morning touring around the lake and being stunned by the towers of swarming midges so large you can see them a half mile off, we are heading even further north to husavik for an afternoon of whale watching. It looks to be an open boat so I ...
Reykjahlid
... tourists not the 700000 they had come through last summer. The property in total includes 8% of the total land in Iceland. Apparently the original owner sold to Christine's ancestors because he only had two children and they were insufficient to ...
Geotherms
Great day, with wonderful sunshine and warm weather. And midges! Departed after breakfast, heading for Lake Myvatn. Started driving the opposite direction we had gone before. First stop was bird museum, though we did not go in. We did admire the swans ...
Ring Road Day 3/Driving and Sulfur
... if you are tight on time, I'd reccommend skipping and maybe spend a little more time in the 'capital of East Iceland', Egilsstaoir with a whopping population of around 2,200. We carried on to higher elevation and the temperature dropped below freezing. ...
