The story

Story · Dimmuborgir

You're standing at Dimmuborgir, a nature reserve on the east side of Lake Mývatn in northern Iceland. Take a look around. Black rocks rise up everywhere in the strangest shapes: towers, arches, hollow chambers and pillars. The name means something like dark castles, and you can see why straight away. It looks like an ancient fortress that crumbled long ago.
