Þorri is one of the old Icelandic months. It always begins on a Friday, between the 19th and the 25th of January, and ends on a Saturday between the 18th and 24th of February. The first day of Þorri is called Bóndadagur or "Husband's Day/Farmer's Day", and  is dedicated to men (formerly only farmers).

Myvatn was notable for the pseudocraters, formed through a geological process I cannot hope to explain. While the scale of the area is awe inspiring, I wasn't as taken with the place as I had been with Goðafoss. This, I think, was partly down to the weather, cold, bleak, raining and utterly miserable. The landscape seemed drab in such conditions, and didn't fill me with the same feelings the falls had. Maybe I'm doing Myvatn a disservice, but it wasn't the highlight of the sojourn in th...
