    Huge tuff ring at Lake Myvatn. Impressive views from & into this crater. It was created by a gigantic water vapor explosion.

    From a distance, the crater looks impressive, but on top, it was a great feeling to stand on this huge crater and enjoy the great and wide view.
    Definitely worth the climb.
