Mývatn

Iceland
Someday we will visit Mývatn or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Mývatn

Mývatn is a lake near Akureyri in North Iceland. The lake was formed during a massive eruption 2300 years ago. Today the area is best known for the huge numbers of birds that visit in the summer, and for the weird and inspiring volcanic features that surround the lake. The name "Mývatn" is derived from the vast numbers of midges that gather at the lake and are sure to leave an impression on all who visit!
