Dettifoss waterfall, 100 m wide, 45 m high, on the river Jokulsa a Fjöllum in June 1997. The 28 km long road from the Ring Road to the waterfall was the worst I have ever driven with a car in 1997, a dirt and mud track with puddles up to 30 cm deep, I was glad I didn't get stuck. On the way back, I took a 150 km detour via Husavik to get back to the Ring Road.

The thermal area of Namasgard on 02.07.2013. It is one of the most attractive areas in Iceland. Boiling mud pools, hissing fumaroles, and a unique Martian landscape fascinate visitors.

Solfatara field Namaskardi 6 km east of Lake Myvatn on the Ring Road in June 1997, with mud pots, steam columns, and the smell of sulfur.

Lake with warm water and in the background solfatara fields with steam columns next to the diatomite factory (left) at Lake Myvatn in June 1997.

Northeast of Lake Myvatn, diatomaceous earth was mined and processed into diatomite at this plant, which is environmentally controversial.

Myvatn Lake (German: Mückensee) in northeastern Iceland in June 1997, the lake does not freeze over in winter and is quite rich in fish, but also known for its abundance of midges in summer.
