Description: Þórsmörk valley with its rugged nature cornered in by glaciers and their mighty glacial rivers, criss crossed by towering canyons and the steep foothills of the Eyjafjallajökull glacier is a sight not soon forgotten. To reach this secluded highland valley we will need a genuine Iceland Super-Jeep and an experienced guide at the helm. On the way to Þórsmörk we will visit the picturesque Seljalandsfoss and pass Gígjökull glacier lagoon. Continuing onwards to Básar cabin where we will begin our 7-8 hour hike up to the Fimmvörðuháls volcanoes. This is the site of the first of two volcanic eruptions in 2010. During the hike you will not only be able to touch the new lava, see the brand new craters, mountains but also enjoy vast sweeping views of one of the most beautiful highland nature in Iceland. Tout au fond de la vallée de Þórsmörk, profonde vallée glaciaire au pied de Mýrdalsjökull au sud de l’Islande, nous vous proposons une randonnée épique pour atteindre les cratères fraîchement formés en 2010 lors de l’éruption du printemps sur le col de Fimmvörðuháls . Près de 900 mètres de dénivelé positif! Auf dieser Wanderung begeben wir uns zum Vulkan Eyjafjallajökull und dem Bergpass Fimmvörðuháls, wo wir exklusiv die neue Lava des erst 2010 ausgebrochenen Vulkans besichtigen können. Außerdem besichtigen wir auch den Gletscher Gígjökull, wo die Gletscherflut nach dem Vulkanausbruch immer noch stark sichtbare Spuren hinterließ, und den malerischen Wasserfall Seljalandsfoss.

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!

Description: Mt. Hekla is undeniably Iceland’s most famous mountain. It is the second most active volcano in Iceland and has erupted many times in historic times, including one in February 2000. For hundreds of years the mountain was believed to be the gateway to hell and no one dared climbing it. Until, Eggert Ólafsson, a famous Icelandic biologist, decided to throw caution to the wind and succeeded in summiting the mountain in the summer of 1750. Since then hiking to the top of Mt. Hekla has become a popular route. The view from the top of Mt. Hekla is wide and beautiful; you can see all of Fjallabak mountains, up to Vatnajökull glacier (Europe’s biggest glacier) not to mention all the evidence of recent and longstanding volcanic activity. Que diriez vous d’une ballade sur le deuxième volcan le plus actif du pays ! Sa dernière éruption remonte à Février 2000. La vue du haut du Mont Hekla est étendue et superbe. Vous pourrez y apercevoir les montagnes de Fjallabak et même le plus grand glacier d’Europe: le Vatnajökull. Hekla ist der zweitaktivste Vulkan Islands und ist schon viele Male ausgebrochen. Jahrhundertelang wurde geglaubt, dass der Berg den Eingang zur Hölle beinhaltet und die Menschen meideten den Vulkan. Heutzutage ist der Weg zu der Bergspitze ein beliebter Wanderweg. Der für den Aufstieg nötige Aufwand wird mit einer atemberaubenden Aussicht belohnt.
