Around 90 kilometers away from Akureyri lies Lake Myvatn which has the claim to fame of being the fourth largest lake in Iceland.

Description

The lake is said to have been formed as the result of a large volcanic eruption over 200 years ago and this area is still known for being prone to volcanic activity with a range of other volcanoes dotted around the landscape.

Legends abound at the lake and the area that surrounds it is covered with lava formations that are called Dark Cities and are said to be the spot where Satan fell to the ground having been banished from heaven.

He was then cast out from the region by elves who then reclaimed the Dark Cities as their own homes.

There are several spots here where the natural heat under the earth has warmed up some of the pools and you can bathe in the hot waters.
