It is located in the tectonic rift valley between America and Europe, surrounded by volcanoes, lava fields and green pastures.

Description: The Snæfellsjökull glacier is one of the most picturesque mountains in Iceland, rising up 1450 meters from the middle of the Snæfellsnes peninsula this famous volcano is clearly visible more than 100 km away. The most famous literature about Snæfellsjökull is undoubtedly Jules Verne’s novel “Journey to the center of the Earth” where the entrance to the center was through a caldera at the top it. Everything about this trip is an amazing adventure; even the drive to the start of the hike offers breathtaking views only surpassed by the vistas from the slopes and the peak. On clear days the whole Westfjord peninsula is visible with its amazing mountains and beaches, a sight never forgotten. This is one of the very best glacier hikes in the world! Haut de 1450 mètres, ce stratovolcan est visible depuis Reykjavík. De nombreux écrivains et poètes ont fait l’éloge de cet ancien volcan, tel que Jules Verne qui le cite dans son ouvrage “Voyage au centre de la terre”. Lors de la randonnée, vous serez guidés jusqu’au sommet, pour admirer la vue imprenable sur la péninsule de Vestfjord et les rives glacées du Groenland! Cette marche est sportive, mais reste néanmoins accessible aux plus néophytes d’entre vous.

In dem Roman „Die Reise zum Mittelpunkt der Erde“ von Jules Verne befindet sich der Zugang zum Zentrum der Erde dort. Der ganze Trip ist ein fantastisches Abenteuer.

Description: Explore the hidden world in and under the great lava field located in the Blue Mountains, only a quick 25 minutes drive from Reykjavík. Walking down into the lava cave and discovering the marvels created by past volcanic activity is a trip that everyone will enjoy. The Leiðarendi cave is a perfect example of an Icelandic lava tube and a unique experience where you will explore this dark and quirky world beneath ours. We will crawl and walk in our journey beneath the surface so be sure to bring good hiking shoes and gloves. The Underworld is an exotic and unorthodox trip for those that are not afraid of the dark and there is absolutely no better way to see first hand how Iceland was created! Visitez une des grottes du champ de lave Tvíbollahraun, vieux de plus de 2 000 ans. La grotte se trouve à environ 30 minutes de Reykjavík près des Montagnes Bleues. Vous découvrirez ces formations étonnantes en marchant, grimpant et même en rampant. Cette excursion est plutôt facile, mais nécessite une bonne paire de chaussures de marche, et des gants. Dieses halbtägige Abenteuer bringt euch tief in den isländischen Untergrund. Wir fahren mit euch zu der uralten Lavahöhle Leiðarendi in dem Bláfjöllgebirge, wo wir zunächst unsere Helme und Kopflichter anlegen, um dann die verborgene Welt aus einmaligen Lava- und Steinformationen zu erkunden. Ein exotischer Trip für alle, die keine Angst im Dunkeln haben!
