摘要
Myvatn is a shallow lake with numerous islands in the neo-volcanic zone of northeastern Iceland. Maximum depth is 4.2 m and area 37 km2. The first lake in this basin was formed by a lava dam 3800 years ago, but the latest lava flow into the lake occurred 1729, when five years of volcanic activity greatly affected its biology. The smooth bottom is of thick diatomaceous sediment. Recent changes in human population, agricultural practices, and industrial development in the vicinity of the lake are briefly described. - from Author
