Amazing view the Lake in parts very frozen. Totally recommend to
Enjoy in all the seasons different colors and feelings.
Beautiful place to sit and admire. Black sand beach and icy lake surrounded by snow capped mountains. Definitely worth a stop :)
Just outside the city. Fun to go on a nice day. Great to go cycling from Reykjavík, 1.5 hours to get there, bit of traffic last part since there is only the road. Was about 70km trip for me.
Visited here at view point in the morning with clear sky showing the stunning scenery of the lake and mountains at the opposite side. This area is very popular for northern light watching at nighttime due to the darkness enhancing the visibility of auroras.
This place has some stunning views and scenery. I visit winter bur can only say each season will bring only more beauty to see.
Beautiful lake set among the lava outcroppings.
Amazing lake near Reykjavík. The drive is very nice but can be quite tricky during the winter. The landscape changes a lot with the seasons and every time you see the Isle looks different. Definitely a place to visit more than once. Also the region best is full of other attractions (Grænavatn, Seltún, Eldborg, Krýsuvíkurkirkja, etc)
A beautiful serene place. You don't see a lot of tourists come through this area. And you can have some time in the place all to yourself. I have read that it is one of the best places to see the northern lights, although I knew it only a few days after I visited it or else would have planned accordingly. It was a morning visit for me, it was cold, cloudy and windy. So couldn't get the bright photos I was looking for. But this is a must visit.
