Skútustaðagígar craters

Local name: Skútustaðagígar

A group of craters is located on Lake Mývatn near the volcano Krafla. The pits were formed as a result of gas explosions during the flow of boiling lava, which is why they are called pseudo craters. They are currently an interesting natural formation and a place to observe water birds.
