Up close to the Dark Castles of Myvatn

Dimmuborgir rocks (Kálfastrandavogar)
According to www.edgeofthearctic.is/places-to-see/dimmuborgir/,
"it is believed that during an eruption ~2300 years ago, something blocked the flow of lava causing the formation of a lake of lava. As the lava in the lake had started to solidify the blockage gave way and the molten lava flowed out leaving behind the parts which had solidified. These unique conditions created geological formations which have not been found above water anywhere else in the world."
