Karl and John arrived at Mývatn this morning, at around 11am. Karl decided to take us round the Krafla area.
Our first stop was up Krafla itself, where we could overlook the lavas of the Mývatn Fires in the 18th Century, and the Krafla fires of 1984. We then drove down, and walked over the lava flows themselves, onto the main line of fissures, where lava channels still emit thick sulphurous gases.
We returned home early, and Karl cooked us a meal of potatoes, salad and Fiskeboller (fish slab rather than balls ... looks incredibly unappetising, but fried it is actually tasty!
Tomorrow we head to the south. Hopefully it will be as impressive as the north...
