Mývatn, located in the north of Iceland, is a beautiful lake surrounded by a very active volcanic area. The lake, which is the fourth largest in Iceland, has an area of approximately 37 km². Mývatn's landscape is unique and varied, with numerous small islands and skerries adorning the lake's surface. The area is rich in birds and insects, including the dancing mosquitoes (Chironomidae) from which the lake gets its name. Despite the name “mosquito lake”, these little flies do not sting.
