      Did an evening tour of it and boarded the crater from the Dimmuborgir side, which leads almost in fall line in soft sand up, was very difficult. There is probably an easier ascent from the east side, would take the next time.

        You have a great view over the lake and the landscape from the top of this vulcano.
