Descrizione

The Neslandavík Bay is located on the northern side of Lake Mývatn and is probably the best spot to find great numbers of waterbirds of the entire lake. Large flocks of resting Moretta, Fischione and Moretta grigia. Other species of waterbird that can be found within the bay are Canapiglia, Strolaga minore, Svasso cornuto, Falaropo beccosottile, Codone and Moretta codona. The area is also a good spot for Orchetto marino. The bay is known for its rare vagrants and species such as Fischione americano, Moriglione and Moretta dal collare have been seen here.

The bay is also a good spot for observing gulls and skuas, like Mugnaiaccio, Stercorario maggiore and Labbo.

The best way to observe the bay is from Sigurgeir's Bird Museum, located just east of the bay. It gives the best views over the lake. The museum is surrounded by low vegetated fields and a great place to observe species like Culbianco and Pispola. Also Gufo di palude can be found here and Girfalco can be seen hunting.
