What To Expect

Godafoss

Goðafoss, the “Waterfall of the Gods,” is one of the most breathtaking waterfalls in Iceland. Its wide, horseshoe shape and powerful flow make it a true highlight of the North. According to legend, this is where the lawspeaker Þorgeir threw pagan idols into the waterfall after Iceland adopted Christianity over 1,000 years ago. The water comes from Vatnajökull - the largest glacier in Iceland - and depending on the light, the waterfall changes from deep blue to milky glacial colors. On sunny days, you can often spot a beautiful rainbow above the falls. It’s a place that feels powerful, yet peaceful at the same time - perfect for unforgettable photos and a moment to just take it all in.

Skutustaoagigar

A unique place on a global scale - pseudocraters like these can be found only in a few places in the world: here in North Iceland, in Hawaii, and even on Mars. They were formed when hot lava flowed into the lake, trapping water underneath. As the water rapidly turned into steam, pressure built up until it exploded through the surface, creating these crater-like formations. Unlike real craters, they were not formed by an eruption from below, but by powerful steam explosions. Today, it’s a peaceful area with beautiful views over Lake Mývatn - perfect for a short walk and photos.
