Mývatn and Laxá

Mývatn and Laxá are two of the most stunning locations in Iceland, known for their breathtaking landscapes and unique natural wonders. Mývatn is a volcanic lake located in the north of Iceland, surrounded by geothermal activity and stunning rock formations. Laxá is a river that runs through the highlands of Iceland, offering incredible views of the rugged terrain and the Northern Lights. Both locations are popular among photographers, who come to capture the stunning scenery and unique geological features. From the dramatic lava fields to the crystal-clear waters of the lake, Mývatn and Laxá offer endless opportunities for photographers to capture the beauty of Iceland's natural wonders.

by Jean François Bonachera

Un pseudo-cratère est une formation ressemblant fortement à un cratère volcanique mais dépourvue de cheminée volcanique. Les pseudo-cratères sont créés par des explosions de vapeur qui ont lieu lors du contact entre une coulée de lave et l'eau d'un lac. Les pseudo-cratères de Skútustaðir, sur la rive sud du lac de Mývatn, sont un exemple unique de grands pseudo-cratères. et datent de plus de 2 000 ans

Undisputed gem of the northeast, Mývatn lake and the surrounding area are starkly beautiful, an otherworldly terrain of spluttering mudpots, weird lava formations, steaming fumaroles and volcanic craters, set around a bird-filled lake.

The Mývatn basin sits squarely on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the violent geological character of the area has produced a jam-packed landscape unlike anywhere else in the country.

I really wish I had a better foreground for this sky, rather than the much overrated Myvatn lake and some unimpressive small cinder cones.
