Lake Myvatn Area

Another "school trip." This is one of many pseudo-craters around the south shore of the lake.

This is a steam vent that is too powerful to hook up to the Krafla power station. It is very impressive and LOUD! Basically, they've bored a 2 km deep hole into the ground and put in a perforated pipe at the bottom so that the steam rises through the pipe to the surface. The steam is created by magma heated rainwater! Shortly after the power plant was built (1974) there was a volcanic eruption, and about half of the bore holes "erupted" as magma came to the surface through the piping. Iceland has claim to the first, and only, man made object to ever "erupt!"
Close up of a "verda." A cairn used to mark the path from one farm to another.

More sheep. Can't get enough of the sheep in Iceland.
