Reykjavik Tips

Tip on : Reykjavik - 2 years ago

Opened in June 2004, Mývatn Nature Baths in Iceland, is the latest addition to the region's many visitor attractions. Drawing on a centuries- old tradition, the tastefully designed complex offers bathers a completely natural experience that begins with a relaxing dip in clouds of steam rising up from a fissure deep in the Earth's surface, and ends with a luxurious swim in a pool of geothermal water drawn from depths of up to 2,500 metres. Overlooking the valley and the snow on the mountains, and at the same having some rain, sunshine and experiencing this thermal bath, was absoultely incredible! This place is still very much unknown! Myvatn basin, one of the wonders of the world, sits squarely on the mid-Atlantic Ridge. Its centerpiece is Myvatn ('midges‘) Lake, originated in volcanic activities some 4000 years ago. Here one kind of midges dances, another one bites. The assembly of pseudocraters at Skútustadir at the southend were formed as water below the lava boiled up and exploded in steameruptions. Those dark lava towers at Kaflaströnd on the eastside appear like apparitions of another world.

Good tip?
