back among the lava rocks

El Malpais in New Mexico wasn't enough for us, so we went to the lava fields in Dimmuborgir, a couple of kilometers south of our guesthouse in Mývatn. The rock formations were similar to others we've seen before; the comparisons to El Malpais were obvious, but we saw a formation like Pebble Beach in California, another like Window Rock in Arizona.

The highlight of the hike is the Kirkja, or Church. It's a cave or small tunnel with large openings at each end. During summer, they perform concerts in here somehow.

This one looked (to me) like a woman dressed in medieval garb looking up in the air, but Leah thought it looked like a cat. How Rorschach.
