Description

Encounter Iceland’s full array of bizarre and beautiful natural attractions on this enchanting tour of fuming craters, gnarled lava landscapes and a legendary waterfall. Your otherworldly excursion begins with a drive inland toward Lake Mývatn, known for its hyperactive biological tendencies. This body of water positively teems with life, including tens of thousands of ducks and other birds – and its surrounding terrain is a living textbook in oddball geology. In Námaskarð, you’ll see and smell a sulfurous field of mud-pots, steam vents, boiling springs and fumaroles; it’s a world of incredible color and loud popping earth bubbles. Nearby in Dimmuborgir, the scene is all lava arches and peculiar formations that have led to many a mystic folktale. In contrast, the lakeside pseudo-craters at Skútustaðir don’t boil or bubble a bit; they’re beautiful grassy pseudo-craters crisscrossed by walking paths that make this an extremely inviting site for a wetland birdwatching stroll. Plunging down in a roaring torrent from a horseshoe-shaped rim, the falls at Godafoss are among Iceland’s most impressive and have an ancient legend all their own to learn about. You might hear more about this over snack/lunch at a local Skútustaðir restaurant, included in your excursion.
