Next day, despite rain and clouds, we wanted to see the lake-filled crater Viti and so drove through the large geothermal complex in Krafla Valley. From there it was a short drive along Lake Myvatn to see the weird rock formations at Dimmuborgir.

| Driving through plant |
 |
| Viti crater...as much as my little lens could capture |
 |
| Pano attempt |
 |
| Borrowed from some of the excellent signage |
 |
On the road to the geothermal complex, some wit has placed an
outdoor hot shower; very hot, no doubt |
 |
| Horseplay along Lake Myvatn |
 |
Dimmuborgir is an area of unusual volcanic rock formations,
formed beneath the sea/lake that once covered the area...lava
spouting up into the waters... |
 |
| Some see castles, cathedrals, even elves or similar magical people |
 |
| Excellent signage, however |
 |
| The elves even give musical performance from time to time |
 |
Evidently they were on lunch break when we were
there; interesting historical side note...we used to
have a sheepskin rug like this when we lived in
Dallas...our dog, Fafner, particularly liked it since
it looked like his mother... |

Oh, gosh, I had forgotten about that dog and that rug!
