Skutustadagigar is a pseudocrater on the southern shore of Myvatn Lake, near Reykjahlid in northern Iceland. Pseudocraters are formed by gas explosions when molten lava flows into the water. The example here is the best-known around the lake, and is surrounded by hiking trails which show off the crater from different angles. Walking around will only take around an hour, and gives some fantastic views (remember to stick to the trails). Many birds choose this location for nesting. It is a national monument.
