A collection of attractions in the northeast of Iceland 🇮🇸

We drove out of the Basalt Grand Canyon that day and headed straight to the Myvatn area in the northeast, which is located in an active volcanic area and has many stunning natural landscapes. First we came to Viti Crater Lake. Since the road to Viti Crater Lake was covered with snow that day, it took 30 minutes to walk there. The parking space would pass by the Krafla volcano geothermal power plant. The snow scene was beautiful. It was mid-October and the surface of the Viti crater lake was frozen. Then drive to Namafjall Hverir geothermal valley, where the smell of sulfur fills the air, mud pools boil at temperatures over 200 degrees and depths of up to 1,000 meters. The volcanic fumaroles here are also impressive. These natural phenomena demonstrate the tremendous energy inside the earth, which is breathtaking. Then head to Hverfjall Pseudo-Crater, a volcanic site 2,500 years ago, when lava from the volcano flowed into a pond. The water exploded due to the high temperature, forming the current magnificent landscape composed of volcanic gravel. The crater is 1 km in diameter and 140 meters deep. It can be easily reached on foot in 30 minutes. The trail is full of volcanic gravel and it takes about 15 minutes to hike up the mountain. These geothermal activities and volcanic landscapes in the Myvatn area are a rare visual feast for both nature lovers and photographers. #GlobalTravel
