Journey to the Hekla Volcano and Landmannalaugar

Come explore the stunning landscape of Iceland’s eruptive interior. Iceland has thirty active volcanic systems, of which thirteen have erupted since the settlement of Iceland in AD 874. The volcanic activity has created endless fields of moss-coated lava, sweeping plains of black sand, jagged peaks and vast craters. After traveling through the fertile South Iceland farmlands, climb to the ridge of the active volcano, Mount Hekla to enjoy panoramic views of scenery that seems to be from another world. Mount Hekla is one of Iceland’s most active volcanoes, and last erupted in 2000. In the Middle Ages, Europeans called the volcano the “Gateway to Hell”. Then journey through the surreal Highlands of Iceland to Landmannalaugar. The freezing forces of glaciers and arctic weather are in constant battle with the explosive heat of the earth. Centuries of volcanic activity have created a landscape that is like no other on earth. Landmannalaugar is a popular tourist destination and hiking hub, located hours from civilization. It is a magical place full of hot springs, lava fields and multi-colored mountains. The extraordinary rhyolite mountains create a kaleidoscope of pink, brown, green, yellow, blue, purple, black and white sand. Visit the 'pearls of the highlands', the water-filled Ljótipollur, an explosion crater lake whose Icelandic name means Ugly puddle, and whose waters are filled with trout. A wondrous journey into another world. #icelandhighlands #landmannalaugar #hekla
