Around Lake Mývatn : -Leirhnjúkur -krafla -Hverarond
Three active sites near Krafla mountain near Lake Mývatn Iceland.
(1) Leirhnjúkur - on the way to Krafla steam out of the surface and you see the layers of new LAVA covering older layers.
(2) krafla lake This is the lake on the mountain (not the top)
(3) Hverarond - On the ring road, water are steamed out of the ground and there are mud bubbles
You can walk around but be carful not to go off the path since you can be burned.

Part-6 Flying around Lake Mývatn
Krafla is a caldera of about 10 km in diameter with a 90 km long fissure zone, in the north of Iceland in the Mývatn region. Its highest peak reaches up to 818 m; it has erupted 29 times and it is 2km in depth.
Krafla includes one of the two best-known Víti craters of Iceland (the other is in Askja). The Icelandic word víti means hell. In former times, people often believed hell to be under volcanoes. The crater Víti has a green lake inside of it.
The Krafla area also includes Námafjall, a geothermal area with boiling mudpools and steaming fumaroles.
The Mývatn fires occurred between 172429, when many of the fissure vents opened up. The lava fountains could be seen in the south of the island and a lava flow destroyed three farms near the village of Reykjahlíð, although nobody was harmed.
Between 1975 and 1984 there was a volcanic episode within the Krafla volcano. It involved nine volcanic eruptions and fifteen uplift and subsidence events. This interupted some of the Karfla drillfields. During these events a large magma chamber emerged. This has been identified by analysing the seismic activity. Since 1977 this chamber has been the source of the geothermal energy used by the 60 MW power station. A survey undertaken in 2006 indicated very high temperatures at depths of between 3 and 5 kilometrs and these favourable conditions have led to the development of the first well from the Iceland Deep Drilling Project

Myvatn lake : north Iceland ( famous lake of fies ) - Drone Iceland
One of the main attractions of the north is famous lake Myvatn, located at a distance of about 55 kilometers south of the town of Husavik. It is also the fourth largest lake in Iceland, a place that you must see.
Its name (isl. my - the mosquito or fly + Vatn - lake) means lake flies which almost perfectly reflects the character of this place. Ubiquitous near the lake insects can drive a man to despair. If you're going to admire these beautiful lands you must obtain a special protective nets worn over the head. It can be purchased on nearby petrol stations.
The lake was created about 35,000 years ago, it covers its surface area thirty-seven kilometers square. The average depth of the lake is 2.5 meters and the deepest point reaches up to four and a half meters. The water in the lake is rich in minerals and algae, which means that it takes blue-green hues. The transparency of the water allows you to see the rich vegetation and fish among the seaweed. Surface of a lake is filled with dozens of small islands and the coast grow pseudo-craters called Skútustaðagígar formed during the explosion gases. In 1974. The area around the lake has been strictly protected, and these pseudo-craters were considered monuments.
Interestingly is that, the water in the lake never freezes completely, despite the fact that it is located just 100 kilometers from the Arctic Circle. This is due to the nearby active volcanoes, geothermal and lava fields.
Myvatn is an ideal place for bird watching, Shores of the lake is home to many species of waterfowl. In summer you can meetings largest population of ducks, more than 16 different species, whose numbers even exceeds 150,000 individuals. In addition to ducks you can meet geese, białozory, whooper swans, curlews, snipe, golden plover and białorzytki and 76 other species that are turning out to be spot on. While migratory birds are represented here by nearly 240 different species. In winter you can see the whooper swans (Cygnus Cygnus)
From May 20 to July 20 on part of the land within the lake entry is prohibited, due to the breeding season of birds.

Lake Mývatn view
The steep but relatively easy climb up 529m-high Vindbelgjarfjall, on the lake's western shore, offers one of the best views across the lake and its alien pseudocraters. The trail to the summit starts south of the peak, near the farm Vagnbrekka

Leirhnjukur Iceland
The Leirhnjukur fields are in walking distance from Viti, in the Krafla area. There are sulfur pools, lava fields, fissures and fumeroles all around. The colors are beautiful, but watch your step. Soft areas can plunge you right into boiling mud. Photos are up on Google:
TJORNES PENINSULA, AKUREYRI, LAKE MYVATN, ICELAND
TJORNES PENINSULA, AKUREYRI, LAKE MYVATN ICELAND
Tjörnes is a peninsula situated at the northeast of Iceland, between the fjords of Öxarfjörður and Skjálfandi. Tjörnes is known for its particularly dense population of Rock Ptarmigan and the rich fossil record of Miocene - Pliocene age.
Akureyri [ˈaːkʰʏrˌeiːrɪ] ( listen) is a town in northern Iceland. It is Iceland's second largest urban area (after the Greater Reykjavík area) and fourth largest municipality (after Reykjavík, Hafnarfjörður, and Kópavogur).
Nicknamed the Capital of North Iceland, Akureyri is an important port and fishing centre, with a population of 17,754. The area where Akureyri is located was settled in the 9th century but did not receive a municipal charter until 1786.
Mývatn is a shallow eutrophic lake situated in an area of active volcanism in the north of Iceland, not far from Krafla volcano. The lake and its surrounding wetlands have an exceptionally rich fauna of waterbirds, especially ducks. 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 (pseudocraters). The effluent river Laxá is known for its rich fishing for Brown Trout and Atlantic Salmon.
The name of the lake (Icelandic mý (midge) and vatn (lake); the lake of midges) comes from the huge numbers of midges to be found there in the summer.
Leirhnjukur - Krafla Lava Fields. Iceland
After more than 200 years of dormancy a series of eruptions, accompanied by lava flow, took place from December 1975 until September 1984 in an area 1 - 10 km (0,5 - 6 miles) north of the summit of Mt. Leirhnjúkur. These events are called Krafla Fires with reference to the Mývatn Fires from 1724-1729. Geothermal activity beneath the volcano Leirhnjúkur formed also fumaroles and hot springs along the east slope and near the summit. The features are well accessible by a hiking loop trail. Video was shot with DJI Phantom 4 Pro.

Coordonnées: 65°43'03.3N 16°45'11.0W
Durée de l'activité: 03h00 (incluant la visite du cratère Viti)
Coût: Gratuit
Krafla est une zone volcanique toujours active en ce jour. Elle est située en Islande.
Le cratère Viti et le champ de lave de Leirhnjúkur en font partie.
La région du Leirhnjúkur est recouverte de lave propulsée par l'éruption du volcan survenue en 1984.
On débute notre randonnée sur un sentier de terre. Par la suite, une passerelle de bois a été érigée pour traverser un champ de fumerolles et de solfatares.
Il ne faut surtout pas s'aventurer hors des sentiers car le sol peut être instable et très chaud.
D'ailleurs, tout le long du trajet, on aperçoit des traces de soufre sur le sol, de la fumée qui s'en échappe ainsi que des mares de boue bouillonnantes. Le paysage est très coloré dans cette région.
Par contre, le paysage prend un tout autre visage lorsque l'on s'approche du champ de lave. Tout est noir, le paysage est totalement défiguré.
On dirait qu'il y a eu un énorme bombardement et que tout a brûlé. C'est vraiment indescriptible. On se croirait sur une autre planète.

Námafjall Hverir Geothermal Area near Lake Mývatn in North Iceland - Krafla Caldera
We made the drive from Dettifoss back to the Ring Road and continued our journey west on the Ring Road. As we came over a hill, we started to smell sulfur and saw steam coming up from the ground. Right off the Ring Road is Námafjall Hverir, a geothermal area that is part of the Krafla caldera. Námafjall Hverir contains boiling mudpools and steaming fumaroles (an opening in the earth's crust usually near volcanoes which emits steam and gases).

My Iceland #5: Mývatn - Krafla
A day of otherworldly beauty and Mother Nature's violence. Starting off with the placid, fly-ridden eden of the Mývatn lake followed by an exploration of the fuming, belching multicoloured volcanic sites in and around Krafla. A brief visit to Dettifoss before falling asleep at the remote fair of Möðrudalur.

The name of the lake (Icelandic mý = midge, vatn = lake; the lake of midges) comes from the huge numbers of flies (midges) to be found there in the summer.
The name Mývatn is sometimes used not only for the lake but the whole surrounding inhabited area. The River Laxá, Lake Mývatn and the surrounding wetlands are protected as a nature reserve (The Mývatn-Laxá Nature Conservation Area).
