Tour in aereo dei crateri Laki da Skaftafell

Take off from Skaftafell Terminal on this up to 50-minute airplane tour in Iceland to the Laki crater chain, one of Iceland’s most significant volcanic regions in the highlands. This flight combines glacier views with remote highland landscapes shaped by volcanic eruptions.

Cosa aspettarsi

After departure, your pilot will guide the route based on weather and visibility, heading west toward the highlands and the Lakagígar crater row. Formed during the 1783 eruption, this 25 km-long fissure system stretches across the landscape and reveals its full scale from the air.

On the way, you’ll fly over parts of Vatnajökull’s southern outlet glaciers before reaching the moss-covered lava fields and crater formations of Laki. From above, the scale of the eruption becomes clear, with crater after crater extending across the vast highlands.
