We begin by stopping at Goðafoss waterfall, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland, on our way to Lake Mývatn, the lake was created by a large basaltic lava eruption 2300 years ago, and the surrounding landscape is dominated by volcanic landforms, including lava pillars and rootless vents.

We take a look at Grjótagjá cave and a stop at the hot spring area at Hverarönd in Námaskarð and in the Nature baths where you get the chance to relax in the steam baths and bathe in the geothermal water you can also take a massage in the baths.

Goðafoss
Goðafoss Waterfall is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland. Nicknamed the Waterfall of the Gods due to its history. In the year 1000, Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði made Christianity the official religion of Iceland and proceeded with throwing his statues of gods into the waterfall.

The water falls from a height of 12 meters over a width of 30 meters.
Skútustaðagígar
Pseudo craters are geological formations that are rare nationally as well as globally. Pseudo craters are rare lava formations formed by steam explosions where thin-flowing lava flows over lakes and swamps. The craters are among the most significant natural monuments in Iceland and by Lake Mývatn they are particularly beautiful in shape and form the framework of the lake.
Grjótagjá
Grjótagjá is a small lava cave near Lake Mývatn in Iceland. It has a thermal spring inside. In the early 18th century the outlaw Jón Markússon lived there and used the cave for bathing. Until the 1970s Grjótagjá was a popular bathing site.
Dimmuborgir
Dimmuborgir was formed in an eruption that occurred

in the area 2,300 years ago.

As lava flowed across the area, it passed over a lake, causing it to boil. This both quickened the cooling of the lava and caused pillars of steam to shatter parts of it. After it solidified, Dimmuborgir area became defined by large stacks of rock and many caves and caverns, caused by bubbles of intense steam.

As such, many have compared Dimmuborgir to a medieval castle, with its many hidden chambers and its rising towers.
Hverir
Hverir Geothermal Area is located in Northeast Iceland.

You can see many smoking fumaroles and boiling mud pots, surrounded by sulphur crystals of many different colours. Sulphur gives the area an overwhelming smell.
Nature Baths
Drawing on a centuries-old tradition, the tastefully designed complex offers bathers a completely natural experience that begins with a relaxing dip amidst clouds of steam rising up from a fissure deep in the Earth’s surface, and ends with a luxurious swim in a pool of geothermal water drawn from depths of up to 2.500 meters.
