Exploring the sites around Lake Mývatn in North Iceland!
The sites around Lake Mývatn in Northern Iceland are unique from the rest of the country. Other than being around millions of flies, during our self-guided one day road trip tour, we explored Grjótagjá Thermal Spring, Hverfjall Crater, Dimmuborgir Volcanic Caves and Rock Formations, Hofdi Lava Pillars, Skútustadagígar Pseudocraters and ended our day soaking in the Mývatn Nature Baths (the Blue Lagoon of the North).
Find our photos, how-to's and recommendations by clicking the link below:
Where is Lake Myvatn located?
Lake Myvatn is located in Northern Iceland. It is 97 km/60 mi east of Iceland’s “Capital of the North”, Akureyri, and 475 km/295 mi northeast of Iceland’s capital Reykjavik.
What sites are located around Lake Myvatn?
Grjótagjá Thermal Spring
Hverfjall Crater
Dimmuborgir Volcanic Rock Formations
Hofdi Lava Pillars
Skútustadagígar Pseudocraters
Mývatn Nature Baths aka “The Blue Lagoon of the North”
How long does it take to tour the sites around Lake Myvatn?
This is dependent on how much you will explore each site. We recommend the following minimum/maximum times for each site:
Grjótagjá – 30 min/1.5 hours
Hverfjall – 1 hour/2 hours
Dimmuborgir – 45 min/2.5 hours
Hofdi – – 20 min/1 hour
Skútustadagígar – 15 min/1 hour
Nature Baths – 30 min/3 hours
How should you tour Myvatn Lake?
Each of these places are easily accessible via car. They all have parking lots and most have informational signs at the start of the site (see below). At Grjótagjá, you will need to climb down some rocks to see the thermal springs but the water is too hot to bathe. You must be able to climb a hill to view the top. At Hverfjall, you will need to hike up a dirt incline. Dimmuborgir and Hofdi have easy dirt walking paths. Skútustadagígar also has easy walking paths but you may have to walk up tiny hills to see the inside of the psuedocraters. It is really easy to enter the Myvatn Nature Baths but can be slippery in some areas.
When should you visit Lake Myvatn?
This area boasts some of Iceland’s best weather during the summer months and is one of the coldest areas during the winter. In winter time, the roads are subject to closure so keep that in mind.
How much does it cost to tour around Lake Myvatn?
Other than Myvatn Nature Baths, all the sites are free and have free parking. Click here to get the current price of “The Blue Lagoon of the North”.
What should you bring when touring Lake Myvatn and its surrounding sites?

A hat with a net covering your face to protect from ALL THE FLIES.
Rain Gear

Towel
Bag to put wet clothes
Change of clothes
Water
Snacks

2T2T TIPS
Highly recommend a fly net to cover your face if you plan on visiting the sites close to the lake. See the black spots in that picture? Those are flies! Visit the Mývatn Nature Baths at the end of your day to recover from touring all the sites. Hverfjall, Dimmuborgir and Skútustadagígar have absolutely no shaded areas so wear proper sun protection. Similar to everywhere else in Iceland, wear layers!

Myvatn Nature Baths, Iceland
ICELAND: Námafjall & Mývatn
Recorded September 5, 2008.
Námafjall is a high-temperature geothermal area with fumaroles and boiling mud pools. At a depth of 1000 meters the temperature is above 200 degrees C. As is characteristic for other hot spring areas
there is a hot spring smell at Námafjall which is caused by the steam and the fumarole gas, such as hydrogen sulfide.
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).
From:
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.

Many other geological and thermal sights are nearby (Námafjall, Krafla Lava Fields, Myvatn Nature Baths, Hverarond). This large lake features amazingly clear water, a number of spectacular hills/islands, looking like soufflés which caught cold.
See the pseudo craters at the south end and read how they are formed. This region is worth a full day.
