Volcano hike to the Reykjanes eruption sites
Our Afternoon and Evening Active Volcano tours from Reykjavík Iceland take you to recent eruption sites of Fagradalsfjall and Meradalir in Geldingalur Valley. You will witness the vast scale of the changes these eruptions have made to the landscape.
The 2021 eruption lasted many months while the 2022 and 2023 eruptions petered out after several weeks. The area is still very active and fascinating, being the place for 3 eruptions within 3 years!
During your exploration, you have the opportunity to learn about all the eruptions that have occurred on the Reykjanes Peninsula since 2021. Your guide will point out areas of interest, including the possibility of seeing the latest Sundhnúkur eruption, which began on December 18th 2023 and subsided 3 days later. You will also learn about previous eruptions at Fagradalsfjall, Meradalir, and Litli Hrutur, weather and safety conditions permitting.
Please note that the flow of new lava has ceased for the time being. The area is still fascinating and well worth a visit.
