    We were there in mid Sept and found it one of the most varied and stunning places on our journey around the Ring Road. Thanks for showing us things we couldn't find or see. Unrelated but local to Myvatn is the Cowshed. One of the most wonderful meals we had In Iceland. Everything was grown/produced at the farm and the staff, at the time, were all local people.

    Just got home from Iceland last week. We only did a 1 day stop but we had time on the day we arrived and left as well. Only did the Golden Circle and some of the Southern coast on the peninsula. WOW!!!!!! We are going back for sure! Took my drone but didn't fly it although I wish I had. I just wanted to keep moving and see as much as we could. My photos don't do it the justice that yours do. Thanks for all the videos on Iceland, we'll be looking at them for ideas of what to see for our next trip.
