Day tours from Lake Myvatn
The Lake Myvatn area is by many considered the most beautiful and at the same time the most catastrophic place in Iceland.
The ecosystem here' is truly unique. The name of the lake derives from the myriad of midges in the area. The birdlife is varied and more species of duck are said to live here, than in any other place on Earth. Almost all species of Icelandic water birds nest in the Mývatn and Laxá area. The Mývatn district is varied in nature and its landscape unique, being formed by intense volcanic activity. Mývatn Lake and Laxá River are listed as internationally important wetlands according to the Ramsar Convention.
