Lake Mývatn is located north of the Iceland at latitude 65°6, right on the active Mid-Atlantic Ridge from which the island was created. A trip to Lake Mývatn is an immersion in nature where the forces of the earth are at their strongest and where man has been able to develop and maintain traditions such as baking bread in the hot volcanic ground, the ice fishing… The Mývatn region offers an incredible diversity in a small area avoiding long road trips. The specified periods are out of season so it is quiet allowing the maximum enjoyment of tranquility, and especially because Mývatn offers a very different face at this time. Recharge at the end of the world with four seasons of Iceland: volcanic hot water baths, contemplation, hikes, together with culture and traditions, observation of birds and volcanoes.

Two weeks in beautiful Iceland
We have just spent two weeks in beautiful Iceland. We met people, landscapes and a climate that encouraged us to discover more. Thank you to those who contributed to the success of our holiday and especially to those who gave us the desire to discover the “slower” aspects of this area of the world.
