- Herðubreið - From the lake Mývatn we drive road 1 towards the crater Hrossaborg, where we turn on road F88 (inland gravel road). After a while, we cross the rivers Grafarlandaá and Lindá and have break in the nature reserve Herðubreiðarlindir (close to mt. Herðubreið), a small oasis right in the middle of the most barren landscape one can imagine.

This excursion is a truly mesmerizing journey through the untamed highlands. Mount Herðubreið, an awe-inspiring tabletop mountain with a distinctive pot or cake shape, serves as the gateway to the Askja area, where two Apollo astronauts underwent training in the ‘60s ahead of their lunar missions. The imposing dark outline of the mountain can be recognized even at a great distance. The actual crown jewel of this region is Askja, a caldera, a landform created by the collapse of a magma chamber. This dazzling lunar landscape, known as one of the most wind-battered and barren areas of Iceland, features the metallic-blue Lake Öskjuvatn and the milky-blue crater lake, Viti.
