SKUTUSTADIR PSEUDOCRATERS

okolice jeziora myvatn, kolejna odslona, tym razem pseudokratery w skutustadir. dlaczego PSEUDO kratery? bo nie sa to 'prawdziwe' wulkaniki! poludniowy rejon jeziora myvatn oraz wysepki na tym jeziorze sa wlasnie bardzo bogate w te formy lawowe. ciekawe!

lake myvatn area, another feature - pseudocraters in skutustadir.
why PSEUDO-craters? well, these are not 'real' volcanoes! lots of these lava forms in southern area of lake myvatn and on islands on the lake
how weird!

LAKE MYVATN MIDNIGHT SUN

fakt ze latem na islandii generalnie nie robi sie ciemno jest wspanialy. latwo traci sie poczucie czasu, zwiedza sie az do 'upadlego' I w wiekszej wolnosci wykorzystuje czas, wiedzac ze nie tyrzeba nigdzie zdazyc przed zmrokiem.
kilka zdjec z 'polnocowego slonca', czyli jest 24.00, slonce zachodzi I w sumie wschodzi zarazem. za horyzont chowa sie tylko na chwile.

how brilliant is the fact that summer in Iceland is NIGHT-LESS. it doesnt really get dark so it's easy to loose time-sense. we were able to explore 'till we 'dropped dead', early mornings and very late nights, all in daylight :)  how liberating is fact that we didn't have to rush to get anywhere before nightfall... as there was no nightfall!
 
few pictures from 'midnight sun', to make it clear - it's 0.00 / 24.00 / 12am, sun sets and rises at the same time, going under horizon for few moments only.
