Hverfell and Lake Mývatn
Hverfell- an awe-inspiring explosive crater formed about 2,500 years ago. This huge, circular crater is one of the largest on earth at 140m depth and 1,000m in circumference.
The lake and its surrounding wetlands have an exceptionally rich fauna of waterbirds, especially ducks. The lake was created by a large basaltic lava eruption 2,300 years ago, and the name of the lake (Icelandic mý ("midge") and vatn ("lake"); the lake of midges) comes from the huge numbers of flies (midges) to be found there in the summer.
