Hverfjall Review

Not far from Lake Mi, a large black volcano, there is a parking lot at the foot of the mountain, from the parking lot to the crater to climb a slope road, it takes about 20 minutes, the whole volcano is dark like a coal mountain, the crater is very large, very spectacular, It is estimated that it will take more than two hours to walk around it, and you can also have a bird's eye view of the entire Lake Mi at the mountain pass.

There is a parking lot and paid toilet at the foot of the mountain, and there is a hiking route to go up the mountain and circle around. We spent about 20 minutes walking up the mountain. Worth a visit.

This is a volcano that erupted more than 2,000 years ago, leaving a trail of black lava that is very shocking, but because of the inconvenience of traffic and the scenery is a bit scary, there are not many tourists.

Lake Mi is one of the most important tourist areas in Iceland, located in the north of Iceland. Lake Mi is the fourth largest lake in Iceland, a shallow eutrophic lake with an area of 37 square kilometers, located in an active volcanic area not far from the Krafra volcano. During the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago, Lake Mi was an ice cap area, and the current lake was formed due to a volcanic eruption. There are volcanic islands in the lake, surrounded by craters, hot springs and lava formations, this is the junction of the Eurasian plate and the American plate, so the surrounding surface activity is frequent, the nearby terrain is full of mud basins, craters, gravel, lava, volcanic jets, etc. Lake Mi is also the driest and sunny place in Iceland. In June, although we saw snowflakes in Lake Mi, Lake Mi is still the windiest and sunny stop on our island trip. The Mihu scenic spot features volcanic geographical landscapes, including geothermal, intermittent fountains, craters, etc. Due to the diversity of the landscape, it was planned as a special reserve by the government in 1974. We chose the B&B in the town of Leicaliz. This is the first choice for tourist accommodation in the Mihu scenic spot. The main tour groups, passenger service centers, accommodation areas, supermarkets, gas stations are here, and there are famous geothermal power plants nearby to visit. Several major attractions to visit around Lake Mi: Mount Wheel crater: Mount Wheel is an extinct volcano that has long stopped activity, and the last eruption is said to have occurred 2,500 years ago, when the country did not exist in Iceland. This crater is 1 km in diameter, and it is a small undulating gravel road to walk around. It takes more than 3 kilometers and takes about an hour. Many tourists go around like this. The crater of Mount Wheel is a relatively highland area along the Mihu Lake. Standing on the edge of the crater, you can overlook the Mihu Lake and other surrounding volcanic craters, as well as geothermal factories and Mihu Hot Springs, and you can smell the pungent sulfur from time to time. Black stone forest: Black stone forest also has the title of dark castle or black maze, enter this valley, if you do not follow the sign route provided by the scenic area, no matter how good the direction will be lost. Looking at the dark part from a distance, like the dark castle described in science fiction, after deep exploration, there is no cave here. The lava zone is a mysterious area of large and small caves and rocks, formed by the long-term solidification of liquid lava from lava lakes. These dark strange stones are shaped like minarets like castles, clustered around a narrow valley, walking here, as if in a magical world, no wonder called a maze. Namaskard Geothermal Landscape Area: Namafjall Geothermal is located in the central Iceland next to Lake Mi, is a big wonder of Iceland, from Lake Mi past quickly arrived, to the neighborhood do not need to navigate, smell the smell. It is a geothermal landscape area, a bit similar to the Geschel fountain in the Golden Circle, but it is more typical and special. In the distance, you can see the white columns of smoke from the ground, and the grass is not growing nearby. The white smoke forms like the gas discharged from the chimney in the old time. It is very angry. There is no clear hot spring water here but a thick lime mud. It looks like a scene from a science fiction movie on an extraterrestrial planet, not like a scene from Earth. Godafoss is a spectacular and charming arc natural waterfall in Iceland, also known as the “God Falls”, “God Falls”, is a charming waterfall on the Skalvada Fjord River near the beautiful Lake of North Iceland, 12 meters high and 30 meters wide. This is an arc-shaped natural waterfall, which is very large and difficult to fill the entire waterfall in the viewing frame even with a wide angle. She is particularly peaceful and peaceful in the face of the Falls. No matter how in the mood of the traveler before coming, seeing this situation and this scene will be calm and calm, perhaps, this is really the residence of the gods.

Iceland ｜ Play the northern diamond circle in a day. With Lake Mi as the center, the attractions of the diamond circle are very close to driving for a while, and you can play in a day. Attraction 1: Hverfjall Crater Crater is 1 km in diameter and 140 meters deep. Belongs to the landmark attractions of Lake Mi. It was formed not because of the eruption of the volcano, but because the hot magma encountered the cold lake water, and the boiling explosion was instantly, and the ground was sunken, which formed. There have been landslides on the south side, and the arc of the crater has deformed. Attraction 2: Hverir sulphur spring and Namafjall volcano geothermal sulphur spring boiling magma is gray, like a cement stirring, the temperature is up to 100 degrees Celsius, do not rely too close when visiting. Volcanic geothermal vents everywhere, zizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz A strong sulfur smell, smoked thoroughly brain-wake, commonly known as a smell of rotten eggs. (Um? I wonder, have everyone smelled bad eggs? I didn't smell them anyway) The smoke billowing, interesting is that the way everyone took pictures is endless, some showing the deep internal force of Qigong, some showing the pompous fart work. Attraction 3: Black Castle Black Castle is also known as the Lava Labyrinth, a strange landscape formed by volcanic eruptions two thousand years ago. There are many interesting legends that Icelanders believe that this is the place where the world connects hell, and that they lose themselves here, as Satan was cast into hell from heaven by God. In addition, legend has it that there are elves hidden in the cave, and they will come out at Christmas. If you are lucky, you happen to meet it here. Interestingly, the trees here are long, casual and comfortable, with colorful vegetation, as if in an oil painting. Attraction 4: The entrance to the natural hot spring cave of Grjotagja is not obvious. It was once an ideal natural hot spring resort. The movie "Game of Thrones" is where Xueno and Ygritte are in love, but with the hot spring water temperature in recent years, it has been getting higher (from 30℃ to 50.60℃) The rocks that easily cause the cave to loosen, the government has banned the hot springs here for everyone to visit. The hot spring cave is very small, and you need to bend your head down when you go down. At that time, a girl's head was pulled out and bleeding. Attractions five: Clough Crater Lake in autumn and winter in seconds, when it arrives in the north, it happens to be snowing, ice and snow cover the lake mouth, the blue sky and white clouds nature's best color matching, it looks unique. Attractions 6: The car from the Daiti Falls to the Daiti Falls needs to be parked in the parking lot, and the deep waterfall needs to walk forward. It was originally 10 minutes away, but it was slippery due to snow and walked for half an hour. The movie "Prometheus" aliens stand by the waterfall. Attractions 7: Höfi lava horns are near water plants and some lava horns raised from the water in the southeast corner of Mihu Lake, and summer is a good place to watch birds.
