Izland 7. nap /1. (szept6. sze)
(Közben hazaértünk, itthon minden szar (jó, nem minden, mert vannak cicák!), se hegyek, se fjordok, csak utazás utáni letargia és depresszió... de nézegetem a képeket, lélekben még itt járok)
hú, ez is egy mozgalmas nap volt. nagyjából 270km utazás volt a terv jónéhány megállóval, úgyhogy haladni kellett. a reggelt azért nem kapkodtuk el, főztünk reggelit a Mývatn tó melletti kempingben, pakolásztunk, aztán indultunk a közeli Hverfjall vulkánhoz.
2500 éve tört ki, egy km átmérőjű a tufagyűrű kráter, és kb. 100km/h-s szél fújt a tetején, de úgy, h tényleg ledöntött a lábunkról és közben ugyanezzel a sebességgel fújta a hamut is a szemünkbe (meg az összes nem takart testfelületre). gyors körülnézés volt, jöttünk is le hamar.
köv gyors megálló a Mývatn fürdő túloldalán lévő szolfatáramező, amit előző este a fürdőhöz sietés miatt kihagytunk. a fumarolák tolják ki magukból a kénes mindenfélét, elég menő a táj. színes, büdös és persze itt is szeles volt.
aztán jött 60km után Húsavik, ami az északi bálnaközpont. innen (is) indul rengeteg bálnanéző hajós kirándulás, és itt van A bálnamúzeum. a múzeum izgi, tele van csontvázakkal, meg infókkal, tetszett (kivéve a bálnavadászós rész, de hát az is hozzátartozik sajna)
múzeumozás után ebédeltünk, megnéztük a kikötőt, meg úgy a város parti részét, nagyon szép. bevásároltunk, aztán innen már végülis a kemping jött, ami 200km-re volt még (muszáj volt lenyomni nagy távot, h haladjunk a szigetkörrel). de azért amit útba lehetett ejteni, ejtettük, így meglestük a Geitafosst, aztán megálltunk lábat nyújtani az Eyjafjörður partján, ami után keresztül kellett menni Akureyri városon, aminek nem örültem túlzottan, a városi vezetés azért leizzasztott. majd mesélek az izlandi kétsávos körforgalmakról...
Öxnadalur is megért egy kis pihenőt, majd 6 után befutottunk Varmahlíð kempingjébe, ami a legjobb kempingünk volt a sok nap alatt! de erről majd a köv részben.

Yesterday was blustery, so we visited a fancy “floating” geothermal bath with an infinity view of the nearby lake. The public pools are so nice here that I was on the fence about whether it would be even worth it or not.
Ultimately I’m glad we went. The architecture was extremely cool - blended perfectly with the environment. And the amenities were solid (tea, swim up bar, the actual infinity views etc). I had a beautiful smoked arctic char on toast for lunch at their bistro. The full experience 👍
Today we took a long, cold, rainy bus ride to Mývatn. Saw some snow sprinkles and evidence of lots of wind along the way - probably this makes me a wimp but I’m really glad we’re not biking in this weather. As we approached town, we saw plumes of steam from a variety of geothermal areas. Very excited to do lots of exploring over the next few days!

The boiling mud pots of the Námafjall or Hverir geothermal area near Mývatn Lake in northern Iceland formed when groundwater seeped down to magma intrusions where it was converted into acidic steam and fumerole gas.

Top Ten things to do in Iceland
Iceland – a country in the northern part of the globe – conjures up myriad visuals in our minds. It's a land of undecipherable volcanoes, aurora borealis, rocky mountains, stunning waterfalls, and surreal landscapes.
Iceland Tourism strives to create awareness of the numerous beautiful and magical experiences to avail of while you are in this surreal country.
There's certainly a lot to see and things to do in Iceland, from hot springs to waterfalls, volcanoes, and glaciers. Check it out:
Plunge into the Blue Lagoon.
The Blue Lagoon is one of the most well-known international geothermal spas and Iceland's most prominent tourist destination. The water from the hot springs is incredibly healthful and advantageous to the skin, with temperatures around 39 degrees Celsius. You will feel like walking into a fantasyland when you visit the Blue Lagoon area.
 Cruise along the Golden Circle
The Golden Circle is Iceland's most famous day excursion. It is one of the most popular tourist routes, featuring stunning landscapes and fascinating history. Three popular sites along the road are Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss Waterfall, and Geysir Geothermal Area.
Take a whale-watching trip.
The Icelandic coastal waters are home to several dolphin and whale species. During the summer, the coasts of Iceland become the prime feeding grounds for whales and other large marine mammals, allowing you to see these incredible creatures in their natural environment. It is your first opportunity to discover a humpback or blue whale in action.
Witness the Northern Lights.
The Northern Lights are a magnificent sight on clear winter nights in Iceland. The aurora borealis is the name given to these dancing lights.
Iceland is a fantastic site, on the southern part of the Arctic Circle for viewing the aurora borealis. Witnessing this rare cosmic event is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for space enthusiasts.
Explore Lake Mývatn
Iceland's most geologically active area Lake Mývatn is a renowned halt on Iceland's famous Ring Road. Beautiful lakes, volcanic craters, and birdlife abound in this surreal landscape. You can bathe in Mývatn Nature Baths while admiring the magnificent surroundings, ensuring a relaxing soak.
Snorkel in Silfra fissure
Silfra Fissure is the best diving spot on the planet. Silfra is the world's only spot where you can swim between two tectonic plates. Trip Advisor's 2019 Travelers' Choice Awards ranked Silfra snorkeling amongst the top ten things to do globally.
 View Incredible Geysers
Strokkur Geysir, a 50-minute drive from Reykjavik, is Iceland's most famous fountain geyser and is well-known worldwide. This active hot spring is a popular stop along the Golden Circle route.
Explore the bubbling mud pits and approximately 100 other smaller exploding geysers. Strokkur spurts water high into the air in short intervals. Year-round, the Geysir Center hosts exhibits and instructive programs.
Visit the Black Sand Beach
Reynisfjara black-sand beach on Iceland's southern coast has an ethereal appearance. This one-of-a-kind beach is distinguished for its black sand, and jagged sea stacks emerge from the often-ferocious Atlantic Ocean waves. Reynisfjara beach is a renowned filming location because of its spooky yet beautiful natural beauty.
Discover the Skaftafell Ice Cave.
This spot should be at the top of your list of things to do in Iceland if you want a spectacular glacier tour, breathtaking landscapes, and terrific hiking. The cave is drenched in beautiful blue light - if it is seen at the right moment. There is a beautiful icy world that is constantly shifting, altering, and waiting to be explored.
Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon
In a country full of breathtaking natural wonders, it's tricky to figure out one that stands above the rest. Even still, any consideration of Iceland's most beautiful sights must include the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. Take a boat ride through the massive ice pieces that have been detached from the glacier. Watch the birds flying above and cave formations with blue tints in this natural landscape.
