Myvatn

Today we drove an hour and a half east to a lake named Myvatn. Our first destination was a bird museum and I learned that Iceland has the world's most diverse population of ducks. The museum also had a small room that displayed a boat and fishing gear that belonged to a Norwegian man in the early 1900s. We then drove to the north Atlantic plate tectonic boundary and found a well known hot pot. At first we passed the entrance because it just looks like a hole in the ground, but once we backtracked, Gabbie found it, and in we went. The water was warm and I soaked my feet and relaxed in the cave's peaceful surroundings. It was just us, which was nice. I also just learned that this hot pot was used to film a scene in Game of Thrones. Pretty neat! We are back at our cabin and sleepy from getting out of our own oasis and still adjusting to the time zone difference.
