Hverir, also known as Hverarönd, is a geothermal area located in North Iceland near Lake Mývatn. It is famous for its bubbling mud pots, fumaroles, and other geothermal features.

Location: Hverir is situated at the base of Námafjall Mountain, about 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) east of Lake Mývatn and 90 kilometers (56 miles) east of Akureyri.

Accessibility: The site is accessible by car via Route 1 (the Ring Road). From Lake Mývatn, take Route 1 eastwards. There is a parking area close to the geothermal field.

Best Time to Visit: Hverir can be visited year-round, but the summer months (June to August) offer more stable weather and longer daylight hours. Winter visits (December to February) can be equally impressive but require more preparation due to snow and cold.

Stay on Paths: The ground in geothermal areas can be unstable and dangerously hot. Stick to marked paths and boardwalks to ensure safety.

Facilities: There are no facilities directly at Hverir, but nearby Lake Mývatn has amenities such as restaurants, restrooms, and accommodations.

If you visit this place brace yourself for the smell of rotten-eggs.
