Trip difficulty: 1 out of 5 possible. Rated: Easy
Experience the great Landmannalaugar interior destination with a pro at
the wheel of your Super Jeep as you explore Iceland’s unique interior
paradise for geology enthusiasts and visiting hikers – and don’t forget
to bring along your bathing suit and towel for a dip in one of
Iceland’s natural geothermal spots.
We start off from Reykjavík and drive through the fertile farm lands of
southern Iceland. Soon the snow-covered peak of Hekla, Iceland’s most
famous active volcano, comes into view. Hekla was notorious in medieval
Europe as it was believed to be the entrance to hell. Hekla has erupted
approximately 20 times since the county was settled in the ninth
century.
The variations in the lava and vegetation shaped by the forces of
erosion create a spectacular setting for the volcano. We drive right up
to the edge of the youngest lava field formed during the 2000 eruption.
If weather permits, we drive up along the volcano’s ridge, which is 900
meters above sea level. From this height we can enjoy a splendid view
of the surrounding region.
From the base of the volcano we drive over a truly rugged mountain track past lava fields and explosion craters.
We then head into Landmannalaugar traversing a few streams and rivers
in our specially build super jeep. We will stop allowing time for
exploring or a refreshing dip in the nearby hot springs stream. As we
head out of the interior, we visit the explosion crater Ljótipollur.
Then we advance down the picturesque Þjórsárdalur We’ll make a stop at
the photogenic Hjálparfoss waterfall after making a pit stop at the
highland hotel at Hrauneyjar for coffee and a break. The day in the
Landmannalaugar area is a memorable experience and a geological treat.
Our super jeeps seat 5 – 12 persons so our Safaris are always a small group experience!
