Skútustadagigar

The coastline around the pond Stakholstjörn is a Natural Monument because of the pseudo-craters found there. Skútustaðir Farm is named after a renowned ancient hero called Viga-Skuta, the possessor of the deadly axe Fluga. The pseudo-craters are formed by steam explosions when burning lava encounters lakes or wetlands.
