A stunning unforgettable trip through one of the most geologically active corner of the world; volcanos, waterfalls, canyons, boiling hot springs and lunar like lava-fields. Imagine gazing out over mud pools, hot springs, and craters. Picture spotting whales breaching off the Arctic coast, or birds flying over wetlands set within a volcanic landscape. The circle is about 260 km (160 miles) long, and takes you through part of Europa's largest National Park - the Unesco site Vatnajökull National park. It is positioned in the Northern Volcanic Rift Zone, where the North American and Eurasian plates diverge. It has 5 key destinations which include the historical and picturesque Goðafoss waterfall, the unearthly blue and green landscapes of Lake Mývatn nature paradise, Dettifoss; the most powerful waterfall of Europe, the crescent-shaped wonder of Ásbyrgi canyon and Húsavík town, the whale capital of Iceland. Duration minimum 12 hours. Ideal to make this as a 2 days trip! With overnight stay in Myvatn area.
We start the day visiting the picturesque waterfall Goðafoss. From there we drive through the beautiful Myvatn Nature Reserve where we stop to gaze the beauty of the lake and it's surroundings. We head up northeast from the lake to Namaskard boiling sulphur hot springs and Viti crater. Next stop is Dettifoss: one of Europa's most powerful waterfalls, which is a part of Europas largest Vatnajökull National park. The waterfall is located in Iceland biggest canyons. They stretch through the country from the largest glacier and were formed in catastrophic glacier floods about 2000 years ago. We follow the canyons and visit the Echo cliffs - amazing columnar basalt formation - and at the mouth of the canyon we walk into cliff formation called Asbyrgi; the home of the Hidden People - the true inspiration for many stories and tales, including the elves in Tolkien's Lord of the rings, and closer to our times; Eurovision film starring Will Farrel. Last stop will be Husavik town where you can gaze over the bay.
