Þingvellir Rift & Geothermal

Few places on earth make geology so visually dramatic as Þingvellir, where two tectonic plates are slowly pulling apart beneath your feet. From the air, the full scale of that continental rift becomes clear in a way no ground-level visit can match, with deep fractures cutting across the UNESCO-listed national park in a living map of the earth in motion.

This flight also takes in the Hengill volcanic system and the steaming geothermal fields that power the region, with views of the Hellisheiði and Nesjavellir power plants rising from the landscape below. Where conditions allow, the tour includes a geothermal landing in the Hengill area, placing you right at the heart of Iceland's volcanic energy.
