Details

Iceland is a geologically young land and its location astride the Mid Atlantic Ridge and on the Iceland Hotspot means that it is highly geologically active and has many volcanoes. Eruptions occur on average every five years and also we have several eruptions beneath ice caps, which can generate glacial bursts, most recently in 1996. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and North American Plates are moving apart, is partly responsible for this intense volcanic activity, along with Iceland being a hot spot, which means volcanism due to a rising mantle plume.
We head out of Reykjavík in a 4x4 bus and travel east towards the South coast of Iceland. Passing through some quaint towns and villages before we head into Fljótshlíð valley, where one of our most famous Icelandic Saga took place.
On the way our expert guide will tell all about Icelandic geology and geography to better prepare you for the wonder of an erupting volcano. We stop for approximately 1-1,5 hours at a site from where the eruption can be clearly and safely viewed and experienced.
If you have always been fascinated by the beauty and the forces of nature, join our tour and experience perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime sight!
