Lake Myvatn - Drive around the Lake Myvatn area, which has a unique landscape from the best viewing point. Make a short photo stop which overlooks Lake Mývatn. Take in all the majesty of this unique landscape. Dozens of craters dot the landscape, the results of ancient volcanic eruptions.

Dettifoss Waterfall - We stop at Dettifoss, Europe’s most powerful waterfall. The sheer scale and power of Dettifoss is something to behold.
You can witness this incredible force from several vantage points -
Asbyrgi - This vast horse-shoe shaped canyon is bordered on 3 sides by massive vertical cliffs looming up to 330 feet high.
These cliffs are home to a multitude of bird life. In the deepest reaches on the canyon, an idyllic pond called Botnstjorn sits. -
Husavik - A scenic drive from Ásbyrgi to Húsavík. This charming fishing village is the whale watching capital of Iceland. We won’t have time for that day, but we do have time to admire the bustle of the central harbor as well as one of Iceland’s most beautiful churches. The stop at Húsavík is around 20 minutes.
Húsavík garnered international attention after featuring in the Will Ferrell film “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga”, on Netflix.
