Today I want to share with you a special volcano hike on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland. This trip allowed me to see many stunning natural scenery and unique geothermal phenomena. If you are planning a trip to Iceland, this is the route to try! Highlights of the trip: Local bus tour: Take a comfortable luxury bus throughout the journey and enjoy a relaxing and pleasant journey. Pickup and drop-off included: You can choose the downtown pick-up and drop-off service, which is very convenient. Legal volcano hiking routes: explore the latest volcanic eruption sites and ensure safety. Professional volcano hiking guide: Experienced guides will take you to explore in depth. Daily tours: You can join at any time, but the itinerary may be affected by the volcanic eruption. Itinerary: 1. Meeting point: Central Reykjavik Our guide will pick us up at a meeting point in downtown Reykjavik, or you can choose to be picked up at various designated locations in the city (extra charge required). As soon as we got on the bus, the experienced tour guide began to introduce the itinerary to us, which was very professional. 2. Lake Klaifavatn The tour guide took us to our first stop - Lake Klaifavatn, which is the largest lake on the volcanic Reykjanes Peninsula. The black basalt beaches and ancient rocks surrounding the lake are breathtaking. The mysterious legend of this lake also adds a lot of mystery to the whole place. 3. Selthuen Geothermal Area Next, our guide took us to the Selthuen Geothermal Area, where we could see unique sights of the impact of geothermal water on the environment. We walked along the wooden plank road, passing between boiling and bubbling mud pools, it was like a dream. 4. Volcano Hike Our guide will lead us to the highlight of the day – hiking to the latest volcanic eruption site. We follow the best routes to Mount Fagradals and Mount Meradari, which are expected to erupt in 2021 or 2022. The scene of the newly erupted lava is very spectacular. Although the hike is a bit challenging, it is all worth it to see the stunning scene behind the lava! 5. Gunung Nouhvel Hot Springs Then, our guide took us to Gunung Nouhvel Hot Springs, the center of the UNESCO Global Geopark. The geothermal area here is very active, with steam vents and mud pools everywhere, and the air is filled with a strong smell of sulfur, which feels very mysterious. 6. Reykjanesviti Lighthouse Then, the tour guide took us to the magnificent Reykjanesviti Lighthouse, which is not only a great place to take photos, but also an excellent location to enjoy the coastal scenery. It was really amazing to see the world’s largest breeding colony of northern gannets on Elday Island in the distance. 7. Intercontinental Bridge Then, our guide took us to the Intercontinental Bridge, where the North American Plate and the European Plate separate. Walking on this 15-meter-long pedestrian bridge and feeling the movement of the earth beneath your feet is truly a unique experience. 8. Return to Reykjavik After admiring these natural wonders, our tour guide took us back to the center of Reykjavik, ending the day's adventure. Travel preparation and suggestions: Dress comfortably: Hiking requires a certain amount of physical strength, so it is very important to wear comfortable hiking shoes and clothes. Bring enough water and snacks: You need to replenish energy and water during hiking. It is recommended to bring enough drinking water and some energy snacks. Sun and wind protection: Iceland's weather is changeable, so remember to bring sunscreen and windproof clothing. Camera or mobile phone: There are so many beautiful sights, be sure to bring a camera or mobile phone to record this wonderful day! Preparation for itinerary adjustments: Volcanic activity is very active. Local tour groups will cancel their trips one or two days in advance when the volcano is extremely active, so be sure to have sufficient preparation for itinerary adjustments. Bring a telephoto lens: If you want to take pictures of the volcano, it is best to bring a telephoto lens, because we cannot get close to the volcano and can only watch it from the designated observation deck. This is for our safety. Luck factor: Local tour groups cannot guarantee that you will be able to see the volcano. This requires a certain amount of luck. It is best to join a tour a few days after the volcanic eruption stabilizes. But even so, coming to Iceland for a volcano hiking adventure is a rare experience. This volcano trip made me feel the magnificence and beauty of nature. If you also like adventure and exploration, this route is definitely worth a try!
