On the Eastern plateaus, with much patience and a keen eye, you can see the reindeer and blue fox. But Iceland is firstly heaven for both bird watchers and professional ornithologists. There are over two hundred bird species (puffins, sea eagles, falcons, gyrfalcons and wild ducks). This is why Lake Myvatn pulls the highest number of tourists each year. Moreover, the Region of the same name is one of the island's driest areas and the weather is often mild .
