To get to the top of the #Hverfjall #crater in #Myvatn, North #Iceland, you have to do a pretty steep climb. It's about 396 meter (1,300 ft) high and the climb would take about 20 minutes if you're fit and more if you're not. Unfortunately I belonged to the latter group. I was huffing, puffing, and cursing my way up. Been back in the area a couple of times since but this climb is one of the few Iceland experiences I haven't been tempted to do again.

I already posted this photo of the piece of #birch wood with #mushrooms growing out of it on a past #FungiFriday but here's another one with a different orientation. This was taken in #Hofði woods by Lake #Myvatn in North #Iceland. Fun fact: Björk means "birch" in Icelandic.

This is Lake #Myvatn in North #Iceland as seen from the #Hofði loop trail. This was taken on our first visit in May 2013. It was raining most of the time we were here. Went back in late October 2017 and the weather was much better. Not as much snow on the #mountains either.

#Grjotagja in #Myvatn, North #Iceland had its claim of fame in popular culture when it appeared on the TV show Game of Thrones as Jon Snow and Ygritte's "love cave". Or at least it was modelled after it. I think they recreated it in a studio, but I digress. We've been there twice and it was never busy. Some people think the #cave is hard to find but we always found it quite easily.

Happy New Year!
This is one of the steamy #fumaroles in #Hverir/#Namafjall #geothermal area in #Myvatn, North #Iceland. I love the otherworldly landscape here. You could definitely pretend you were on Planet Mars!

Stumbled upon these beautiful tableau while taking a morning walk in #Hofði woods by Lake #Myvatn in North #Iceland during an #autumn visit some years ago. Perfect for #FungiFriday!
