Descripción
The Skútustaðagígar Craters are located on the southern side of Lake Mývatn and the area consists of a row of pseudo-craters which are covered in low vegetation. The area is provides several great views over the lake and is a good spot for observing waterfowl and other species of waterbird.
The area surrounding the craters are good for Collalba Gris, Bisbita Pratense and Lavandera Blanca. Often, you can find Esmerejón here, hunting for small songbirds. Also Búho Campestre can be seen here.
The area provides several great overviews over Lake Mývatn. Great numbers of waterbird can be seen here and common species in large numbers are Porrón Moñudo, Silbón Europeo and Cisne Cantor. Scarcer species, like Porrón Islándico, Pato Arlequín and Serreta Grande, can also be found here. Sometimes, the area provides large numbers of Falaropo Picofino, which can be observed foraging close to the shoreline. Numbers can reach about 150 individuals in this specific part of the lake.
