From this spot, you get a great view of ancient lava columns standing vertically out of the clear blue water. This is a great place to snap a photo before continuing on your hike around this unique geological area.

Little visited but worth it. Great views of Lake Mückensee.

Unique lava formations in Lake Myvatn. What a sight. Can also be photographed or seen from the HÖFÐI nature reserve.
