Mývatn Highlights

On today's tour you will visit some of the places that are on the marathon route:

Dimmuborgir (Dark Castles), a spectacular maze of strange lava structures covered with surprisingly lush vegetation. The area is composed of various volcanic caves and rock formations.
Hverfjall – a tephra cone which erupted 2500 years ago in the southern part of the Krafla fissure swarm. The crater is approximately 1 km in diameter.
Hverir solfataras (boiling sulphur mud pits) at Námaskarð, these being some of the most spectacular in the country. Stroll around the bubbling gray puddles and the ethereal steam loudly escaping from the conical fumaroles. If you have never smelled a rotten egg before, this is a good chance to cross that off your bucket list! But please - mind your steps!

IMPORTANT: The Mývatn Highlights excursion is included in the price for groups A, B, C & D.
Group E participants staying in Húsavík can book the Mývatn Hightlights tour as an optional excursion Friday.
