Skutustadagigar Pseudocráteres

We went to explore the area of Lake Mývatn. This volcanic lake is in the Northeast part of Iceland. More than 2300 years ago loud explosions in several parts formed what is now the Lake Mývatn. It is powered by water rich in nutrients and has a very unique biodiversity. The Mývatn Icelandic word meaning "ums Lake" by the thousands that are in summer here. In the local language "Mý" means fly and "Vatn" lake. Most waterfowl feed on those types of insects there, making the lake a great attraction for bird-watchers. We started from Akureyri. Halfway down is the waterfall Godafoss (or waterfall of the Gods).

After visiting this spectacular waterfall we traveled. Already on Lake Mývatn, the first thing we visited was Skútustaðagígar pseudocraters is a volcanic area in the Myvatn lake (north of Iceland) near the village of Skutustadir. These types of volcanic formations are almost only seen in Iceland. There are plenty of signs, making it an easy walk.

Este sitio, que se ubica al sur del lago Mytvan uno de mis favoritos, a pesar de que todo me pareció extrañamente encantador. Se trata de lo que se denominan "seudocráteres" que son formaciones resultantes de lava que en un momento flotaron en el lago. El sitio está indicado como parte de las atracciones del lago, y nos fue recomendado en la oficina de turistas que se localiza en las proximidades del lago. Simplemente un lugar por demás adorable para fotografiar y recordar. Y como este, hay miles en todo Islandia.

This site, located south of Lake Mytvan one of my favorites, although all seemed strangely charming. This is what is called "seudocrteres" are lava formations resulting in a moment floated on the lake. The site is indicated as part of the attractions of the lake, and was recommended to us at the tourist office is located near the lake. Simply a lovely place to photograph and remember others. And as this, there are thousands across Iceland.

Good bird watching spot.

Buen punto de observación de aves.

Excellent

Estos pseudo cráteres se formaron hace 2000 años y son un conjunto de conos volcánicos de diferentes tamaños que se formaron cuando la lava entró en contacto con el agua. Es una zona protegida y un buen punto para observación de aves. Hay varias rutas para conocer la zona según el tiempo que tengas. Al parecer es una formación muy rara que se da en muy pocos sitios de La Tierra.

These pseudo craters were formed 2000 years ago and are a set of volcanic cones of different sizes that formed when lava came into contact with water. It is a protected area and a good point for bird watching. There are several routes to know the area according to the time you have. Apparently it is a very rare formation that occurs in very few places on Earth.
