Descripción

Ulfljotsvatn is an interesting zone to visit with nice views of the lake and surroundings. It looks like the typical Icelandic grazing fields with erosion signs next to round rocky mountains, but it also has small forest patches and is full of small growing birches and pines that will become forest in some years thanks to the Icelandic Forestry Association's work, probably increasing the biodiversity and its attractiveness. Although a wide variety of birds can nowadays be found there, such as the characteristic Icelandic Anatidae species, other aquatic birds like Colimbo Grande and Charrán ártico or Agachadiza común and Aguja Colinegra searching for insects in the fields. You can also see Lagópodo Alpino, some arctic fox or, if you are very lucky, even the mighty Pigargo Europeo has been seen overflying the lake during the late summer months.
