#### Get used to the overpowering odour of sulphur in this unearthly place, where steam hisses, mud bubbles and hot water accumulates.

The steamy jets and barren hills of Námafjall are reminiscent of an apocalyptic scene from a movie. Some compare the experience to walking on a distant planet, due to its strong smell of sulfur and lack of any vegetation. Spot the many fumaroles and bubbling mud pits that give this region its otherworldly character.

Capture photos of the extraordinary terrain in this region and note the various colors of the sulfur crystals in the ground. It may take some time to get used to the eggy smell of the chemical composition.

Take care around the boiling steam that rises from jets that are partially covered by rocks. Watch the mud pools, known as solfataras, which fizz with relentless energy from below the surface. Marvel at the sheer size of some of these large mud craters. Hear the hiss of the smoking fumaroles.

Notice the various colors of sulfur minerals and the lack of vegetation on the barren landscape. This is due to the high temperatures and levels of sulfur in the atmosphere. The ground is acidic and infertile.

In addition to mud pits and vapor jets, large pools of steamy geothermal water decorate the desolate area. Enjoy the views of snow-capped mountains dotted along the horizon, which are a sharp contrast to the stark ground of Námafjall.

Gaze up at the imposing Námafjall Mountain in the distance. Follow the hiking trail up to the volcanic giant’s peak.

A power plant west of the site harnesses the geothermal springs of the area to create energy.

Námafjall is 3 miles (5 kilometers) east of Mývatn Lake. It is just off the main road that circles the northern tip of the lake. The nearest major landmarks are the Mývatn Natural Baths and the hot springs of Hverarönd, which are both a short walk away. There is also a parking lot with ample spaces.

The hotel was perfect for our honeymoon! The staff went out of their way to make sure everything was amazing and left a complimentary note and gifts in our room. The views were stunning and nice and private. The breakfast was so tasty and great having it in our room. All the staff were so helpful, suggesting places to visit and sorting out anything we needed. Would definitely recommend!

This is a really beautiful place. Very welcoming and warm staff. Complimentary coffee, teas and pastries in reception. We visited just after Christmas time and it was decorated beautifully. We stayed in a bigger room and the children used the bed settee. It was set up when we arrived. Individual duvets for everyone. Lovely towels and toiletries. Coffee machine in the room with various pods, teas and creamers. Electric hob was useful as we had an early start one day and cooked eggs. Thank you, Adrian for advising we need to put the pan on to heat things up! Hotel breakfast is delicious. Lots of choice. Cereals, breads, fresh fruit, yoghurts, bacon, eggs, pancakes the list goes on. Really enjoyed it being a small hotel, friendly fellow guests. It's close to Bus Stop #1 and #3 depending on your trip pick-up/drop-off. Right next to the lake. We fed the ducks frequently. Very close to all the shops, bars and restaurants. A truly great location. Thank you Kvosin Downtown we're so happy we chose you and you looked after us perfectly. Happy New Year to all.

This dome was perfect! Very clean which is the most important to me. It had all the essentials, extra blankets and the beds were comfortable. The host was super responsive and sent delivered more wood for us quickly. The town of Selfoss is 5-6 kilometers and has nice dining options. My family enjoyed our stay very much and will be coming back!
