Message from Ragga Ragnars

Lake Myvatn, located in northern Iceland, is a stunning natural wonder created by a massive basaltic eruption around 2,300 years ago. The area is known for its diverse volcanic landscapes, rich flora and fauna, and unique geological features like pseudocraters and lava formations. Visitors can soak in the Myvatn Nature Baths, explore the Namaskard geothermal area, marvel at the Dimmuborgir rock formations, hike up Hverfell Crater Mountain, and discover hidden gems like the Grjotagja hot spring cave. Whether you visit in summer or winter, Lake Myvatn offers a magical experience that showcases the raw beauty of Iceland's natural landscape.
