Mývatn-Krafla region

The Mývatn-Krafla region -- a volcanic smorgasbord of surreal lava fields, boiling and burping mud pools, sulfurous steam vents, explosion craters, and pseudocraters -- is Iceland's most varied place to see the earth in mid-formation. Mývatn lake is also a unique ecosystem and the largest migratory bird sanctuary in Europe, with thousands of waterfowl feeding on bugs and algae in the warm shallow water

We  were lucky to get  beautiful  foliage colors adding  variety  to the   colors   on  a sunny day.
  Mývatn is part of the greater Krafla volcanic system, a swath of faults and fissures 4 to 10km (2.5-6 miles) wide and 80km (50 miles) north to south, with Krafla caldera at its center . It is between two very powerful watterfalls
