🌋 Dimmuborgir Lava Fields

🗺️ How to Get There:
Located just off Road 848, which loops around Lake Mývatn. Signposted and easily accessible by any car year-round. There’s a large parking area at the main entrance, and multiple walking paths ranging from 10 to 60 minutes through the lava field. Trails are well maintained and clearly marked.

📅 Best Time of the Year to Visit:
Accessible year-round. In summer, the green moss and wildflowers create striking contrast with the black lava. In winter, the formations become snow-covered, creating a surreal, Game of Thrones–like setting. My personal favorite is autumn, when everything turns orange. Avoid midday in peak season if you want to avoid crowds.

📸 Photography Tips

Best time of day:
Early morning or late afternoon gives the best shadows and drama on the lava forms. In winter, soft blue light makes the textures pop.

Recommended gear:

  • Wide-angle lens for the lava spires and caves

  • Mid-telephoto for isolating rock formations and textures

  • Tripod if shooting in low light or winter

  • Drone is not allowed within the walking area due to proximity to visitors

Composition ideas:

  • Frame unique formations with a path winding through the lava

  • Use natural arches and windows for creative framing

  • In winter, shoot snow and ice clinging to the jagged edges
