Before reaching the stunning Aldeyjarfoss falls and its necklace of oddly-shaped basalt formations you will first cross through an austere desert. A little further along, you will come to the equally beautiful Godafoss falls and finally arrive in the region of Mývatn lake, home to some of the most surprising geological and geothermal phenomena of Iceland: pseudocraters, explosive craters, lava flows often so recent they are still smoking, and earth cauldrons of bubbling mud…Myvatn also offers opportunities for relaxation in geothermal pools.
