Overview

These mid-morning departures from Reykjavík Iceland take you directly to the Meradalir volcano area in Geldingalur valley to witness the miracle of land forming before our very eyes. Meradalir erupted for much of August 2022 but has just recently gone quiet once more. Even without flowing lava, this area is simply fascinating.

Highlights
Mossy-covered lava fields

Fagradalsfjall Volcano

Meradalir Volcano

Hike in Geldingadalur Valley

We join the hiking trail around the lava field remnants of the 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption. The hike can take up to 1.5-2 hours each way and 6-12 km in total depending on conditions. The eruption petered out after just 2.5 weeks, compared to the 6 month long eruption at Fagradalsfjall in 2021.

The eruption transformed the Meradalir valley. The surrounding hills are high so it is perfectly safe to visit the area. Indeed the hills provide the perfect viewpoint and picnic area.

We now reach the main event! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get up close and personal with a volcano eruption site. Normally volcanic eruptions in Iceland occur in very remote and difficult to reach locations. In the same area as the 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption, the tour includes a hike of 3-4 hours and a total distance of 6-12km
