1Fagradalsfjall Volcano
From your viewing point, you’ll witness the raw power of nature as molten lava flows from deep within the earth. The Fagradalsfjall volcano, part of Iceland’s active Reykjanes Peninsula, first erupted in 2021 after lying dormant for over 6,000 years. Since then, it has seen several spectacular eruptions, creating new craters and reshaping the surrounding landscape. You’ll see glowing lava fields, rising steam, and freshly formed rock—an unforgettable reminder of Iceland’s volcanic energy. This is one of the safest and most accessible volcanic viewing experiences in the world.

2Geldingadalir Volcano
From your viewpoint, you’ll overlook Geldingadalir, the valley where the first eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula in over 800 years began in March 2021. This marked the start of a new volcanic era in the region. Unlike explosive eruptions, Geldingadalir featured slow, flowing lava, creating glowing rivers of fire and new land formations. The eruption captivated the world with its beauty and accessibility—offering a rare chance to safely witness an active volcano shaping the Earth in real time. The surrounding landscape still bears vivid signs of this powerful event.
