Mere words do not describe what the south of Iceland has to offer.
Glaciers, volcanoes, geothermal spots, glacial rivers, black sands, green pastures, marshes, lakes, undisturbed highlands and black sand beaches.

Near Mývatn is the impressive lava field Dimmuborgir which featured in the Game of Thrones series.
There is also the incredible waterfall Godafoss, a beautiful feature between the lakes and Akureyri.
The name “Sossusvlei” is often used in an extended meaning to refer to the surrounding area (including other neighbouring vleis such as Deadvlei and other high dunes).
The name “Sossusvlei” is of mixed origin and roughly means “dead-end marsh”.
Vlei is the afrikaans word for “marsh”, while “sossus” is Nama for “no return” or “dead end”.
Sossusvlei owes this name to the fact that it is an endorheic drainage basin (i.e., a drainage basin without outflows) for the ephemeral Tsauchab River.
