On the night of 25 August 1970, a group of farmers blew up a dam on the River Laxá, near Lake Mývatn. This extreme act arrived at the end of a protest lasting years, and made it possible to avoid the destruction of the local area, water sources and the prestigious salmon. It was the first environmentalist operation in Iceland.
