Hverir Geothermal Area

The Diamond Circle is a scenic route that takes you through the magnificent nature of northeastern Iceland. Near Lake Mývatn, one of its main highlights, lies the Hverir geothermal area. Here, jets of boiling steam hiss from the ground, mud pots bubble in open craters, and mineral-rich soil glows with vivid colors as it meets the air. It’s a surreal landscape—so otherworldly that it feels as though you’ve stepped onto another planet.

Diamond Circle

In northeastern Iceland, the Diamond Circle is a classic tourist route that takes you through a variety of unique landscapes created by volcanic activity. Starting from the central city of Akureyri in the north, the 250km route will take you to the jade-colored waters of Lake Mývatn and the Dettifoss Waterfall, one of Europe's largest waterfalls, and other spectacular natural formations.
