Myvatn, Goðafoss and Húsavík

After our stops in east Iceland, we are travelling west in the northern part of Iceland.

Mývatn
​Lake Mývatn is a lake in north Iceland. It was formed by a large basaltic lava fissure eruption about 2300 years ago. The volcanic landscape is dominated by pseudo craters. The idyllic blue lakes, hot pools, sandy mountains and volcanic craters make up an incredible setting and build various fascinating sceneries.

​Goðafoss 
Goðafoss is a waterfall in the river Skjálfandafljót, the fourth largest river in Iceland. It is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the country, falling over a width of 30 metres from a height of 12 metres.

​Húsavík
The town of Húsavík is located on the eastern shore of Shaky Bay and is well-known as the “Whale Capital of Iceland”. We also went out for a whale watching tour and saw a humpback whale. Húsavík is also the place where the first house of Iceland was built, back in the year 860 by the swedish viking Garðar Svavarsson. ​
