Backpack Explore Stykkishólmur to Mývatn By ijustwander on Thursday, September 22, 2016 September 22 – Big travel day. We were driving from Stykkishólmur to Mývatn so we knew we had to get moving. We got up and it was still a bit rainy, but not terrible. We packed up and drove off, heading toward the parking lot near the docks.
