Lake Mývatn in north Iceland is unique for its biota and geology. To commemorate 50 years of research on the lake, and the retirement of Árni Einarsson a meeting was held there last week. Multiple scientists came to describe the hydrology, ecology and evolution of the organisms and ecosystem in the lake.

The programme was quite extensive and interesting - Mývatn research conference 2024.
