Journey Details

The Icelandic highlands represent Europe’s last true wilderness, shaped by the relentless forces of volcanoes, glaciers, and lava flows.

This private tour provides a glimpse into this unique, awe-inspiring world, akin to modern-day exploration. The journey from Reykjavík passes by landmarks like the geothermal power plant Hellisheiðarvirkjun and the lava tunnel Raufarhólshellir.

As the travellers venture through the Þjórsárdalur valley, they witness a prehistoric lava flow over 8,000 years old.

The tour allows for an immersive experience, trekking through the volcanic landscapes, where active peaks like Eyjafjallajökull and the legendary Mount Hekla loom in the distance.

Volcanic Significance

Active volcanoes like Eyjafjallajökull and Mount Hekla, known as The Mother of all Volcanoes, loom over the landscape.

Mount Hekla erupts approximately every decade, spewing forth ash and lava in dramatic displays that have shaped the region’s history.

The Lakagígar eruption of 1784 was particularly catastrophic, creating a lava field the size of Chicago and influencing events as far away as the French Revolution.

Hekla’s 1104 eruption even buried the nearby farm of Stöng, which was later reconstructed in 1974 to preserve this unique legacy.

These active and volatile peaks add an exhilarating element of unpredictability to the journey through the Icelandic highlands.
