What to expect?
After being shaken by months of increasingly disruptive earthquakes, including thousands in the past weeks, Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula finally experienced the volcanic eruption that many geologists suspected was on its way for months prior. Although the volcano has been dormant for a few weeks now, an official ending of the eruption has not yet been announced as there is still some volcanic activity hurling below the surface.Reykjavik Excursions offers a guided tour to the volcano in Geldingadalur, known as Fagradalsfjall Volcano to see the freshly formed lava. The driver and guide will take the group to the start of the hiking route towards the dormant volcano and the recently formed lava in Geldingadalur. The hike will take approximately 1.5 hours each way, please note that this is an estimated time.
Don´t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime experience and witness the newly poured lava that has filled up the whole valley.
Although the volcano is not currently pouring fresh lava, the sight is a must-see.
Please wear hiking shoes and bring crampons as conditions can be slippery during winter.
Our partners at Iceland Camping Equipment can provide you with the perfect gear for a small fee.
