We stayed at Dimmuborgir, a place that surprisingly shares its name with a Norvegian black metal band (http://www.dimmu-borgir.com).
The icelandic Dimmuborgir is a huge lava fields with very odd and beautiful shapes. Covered in snow it was magic: the black of the lava was covered by a ton of snow, only its edges visible. The wind was very strong, we were the only tourists in the area and it was great to be the first to walk into all that unspoilt snow. More snow than i have ever seen.
We slept in a tiny cottage on the shore of lake Mvatn, which was part frozen.
I am glad i saw this area during winter , totally covered in snow and with no one around and of course i wish i had stayed longer to walk, see and photograph more.
