雷克雅未克

Update August 9, 2023: Please note that new lava flows are temporarily halted, but the area is still fascinating and well worth a visit. The active volcano tour starts in downtown Reykjavik and drives out of the city along the moon-like landscape of the Reykjavik Peninsula. Go directly to the brand new eruption site Litla Hrutur, which volcanologists predict will be much larger, passing by Fagradalsfjall and Meradalir in the Geldingalur Valley, sites of previous eruptions. Go and witness the dramatic changes these volcanic eruptions cause to the landscape. Our night tours are particularly popular and it's truly magical to witness the emergence of red lava in the half-dark light of an Icelandic summer evening. The 2021 eruption lasted for several months, while the 2022 eruption petered out after a few weeks. We can't predict how long this new eruption will last, so take this rare opportunity to see an active volcano with flowing lava!Expectations of another volcanic eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula have reached fever pitch, a week after residents in the southwest experienced thousands of small earthquakes. Finally, on July 10, 2023, a 900-meter fissure opened in the northern face of Myladell Crater. Scientists believe the new eruption is roughly twice the size of recent eruptions in the area. We hike around the lava field remnants of the 2021 Fagradalsfjall volcano eruption. The first section is the steepest few kilometers and the final section is mossy and bumpy and has a moderate level of difficulty. The hike takes approximately 2 hours and may vary depending on the route taken during the day. We get as close as possible to an active volcano, but distance depends on many factors including gas levels, weather conditions and safety warnings from rescue teams. In Seltún you can see the impact of geothermal water on the environment. Follow wooden trails that meander through colorful ground and rocks between boiling and hissing mud pools and natural hot water streams. The air is filled with the smell of sulfur from these hot springs, and beneath the surface, the hot water dissolves minerals such as sulfur in rocks and soil, causing this unique smell. There are two observation decks suspended over this area, with 360-degree views (we might not go to the Seltún area if the trip was overdue).[Special Note] The team tour guide/tour staff, itinerary and other arrangements are all provided in English.
