▴ Grjótagjá

Grjótagjá is a small lava cave near Lake Mývatn formed by volcanic activity. It features impressive lava formations and a crystal-clear, hot pool, for which reason it once served as a popular bathing spot. Nowadays, however, swimming is prohibited due to the water’s unpredictable and dangerously high temperatures, which can exceed 50°C. The cave also gained popularity after being featured in the TV show 'Game of Thrones', further adding to its appeal. Definitely a nice spot to visit when travelling along the ring road.

▴ Námafjall Hverir

Námafjall (or Hverir) is a geothermal area in northern Iceland, just east of Lake Mývatn. The landscape is dotted with steaming fumaroles, bubbling mud pots, and the distinct scent of sulfur in the air. A short trail winds through the area via the Námaskarð pass, offering close-up views of this otherworldly terrain. Definitely a must-visit stop along the Ring Road or when exploring the Diamond Circle!

The study indicates that ash from the #Nishinoshima #eruptions was transported by wind and #ocean currents to the waters around #Mukojima, serving as a nutrient source for #phytoplankton growth in that area.
The findings suggest that volcanic ash can enhance the productivity of #marine waters even at considerable distances from the #volcanic site.

One of those hikes when looking back it’s hard to believe that I was there.
