From Egilsstaðir, traverse the stark highlands to witness Europe's most powerful waterfall, Dettifoss, before exploring the otherworldly geothermal landscapes and relaxing at Mývatn Nature Baths.
Dettifoss (West Side)
Experience the raw power of Europe's most voluminous waterfall, thundering into Jökulsárgljúfur canyon. The west side offers easier access and panoramic views.
Selfoss Waterfall
Just upstream from Dettifoss, Selfoss presents a beautiful horseshoe-shaped cascade, with numerous smaller falls stretching across the river's width.
Námaskarð Geothermal Area
Explore a vibrant, barren landscape of bubbling mud pots, steaming fumaroles, and sulfurous vents. The intense geothermal activity paints the ground in striking colors.
Hverfjall Crater Rim
Hike to the rim of this massive, perfectly circular tephra crater, offering incredible panoramic views of the Mývatn area. The ascent is steep but rewarding, revealing a vast, dark caldera.
Myvatn Nature Baths
Relax in the soothing, mineral-rich geothermal waters of the 'Blue Lagoon of the North'. Enjoy stunning views of the surrounding Mývatn landscape while unwinding.
