Overview

Hike up to Iceland's newest Volcano and learn interesting geological features about the development of the eruption and the lava field.
The eruption at Fagradalsfjall began on March 19, 2021, and offers the unique opportunity to experience a breathtaking natural spectacle in a very unique way. A "once-in-a-lifetime" experience that you will never forget.
As a professional geologist/volcanologist, I can give you a detailed insight into the processes of the eruption.

What To Expect

Fagradalsfjall Volcano Eruptions: 2023, 2022, 2021

The drive to the eruption side on Reykjanes peninsula leads through old lava fields and gives a first impression of the creation of Iceland and the forming of the landscape in this area. The Hike begins with an overview of the volcanic history on the Reyjanes peninsula and the first signs of a new eruption at this place. At the lava field, we will discover the forming of new land and learn how the composition of the lava influences the appearance of the rocks. The following hike, up to the crater viewpoint will give you a breathtaking view of the lava field and the surrounding area. The drive back to Reykjavik leads along hot springs, lakes, and mountains through the beautiful landscape of the Reykjanes peninsula. A volcanic eruption is a natural phenomenon, therefore the activity of the eruption can change quickly and the view of hot glowing lava can not be guaranteed. The hike takes about 1 hour to 1.5 hours in each direction (2 to 3 hours in total).
