Entering Dimmuborgir (Dark Crags) across the road from Lake Myvatn.

Dimmuborgir - magnificent lava landscape

With strange formations, columns and arches.

Maybe formed by from a lava-lake out of which molten lava flowed.

Crack in ground.

Up & Up

A view from the top.

The crater is 312 m high and 1,300 m diameter. One of world's largest such craters.

Looking way down in the crater we see graffiti made of rocks!

The boys have to go down.

Way down.

Climbing the center hill.

Our whale watching boat back in Húsavik.

The church in the distance.

Ready to sail.

Húsavik

Sailor John. We saw some whale spouts and tail fins.

Sleeping or sick?

Very sick.

Back to the guest house for dinner.

After dinner we explore the many steam plums in the Mývatn area.

Near the Mývatn Nature Baths.

On the other side of the mountain we find a plethora of steaming activity.

We found steam vents, bubbling mud pits with the characteristic hydrogen sulfide smell.

The moon about 11:00 pm local time.

Good mud shot.
