Eyjafjallajökull Glacier Volcano

Eyjafjallajökull Glacier Volcano

Eyjafjallajökull is a glacier volcano located in Iceland.

It is one of the country's most famous and active volcanoes, and it last erupted in 2010. The eruption caused widespread disruption to air travel in Europe, as ash from the volcano was blown into the atmosphere and caused damage to airplane engines. Despite this, Eyjafjallajökull is a popular destination for tourists, who come to see the volcano's stunning glaciers and experience its raw power.

Visitors can take guided tours to the summit of the volcano, where they can see the crater and the surrounding landscape. The volcano is also a popular spot for hiking and climbing, and the nearby area offers a variety of other activities such as skiing, snowmobiling and horseback riding.

If you're looking for an adventure in a beautiful and unique location, Eyjafjallajökull is definitely worth a visit.

Volcano and Glacier helicopter flight

Reykjavik Airport

On our most spectacular tour we overfly Þórsmörk Nature Reserve and land on Fimmvörðuháls's volcanic crater. We also fly above the infamous, and now dormant, Eyjafjallajökull Glacier Volcano whose eruption in 2010 became global news. From the top we head down its glacier tongue Gígjökull, that was split in half by hot melting lava. And if we're lucky we might even catch a glimpse of Iceland's most active volcano- Hekla, and the Westman Islands. En route back to Reykjavik we follow the black lava sand beach that stretches hundreds of kilometers along the South Coast of Iceland. The black sand beach is a vast expanse of volcanic material laid bare by the endless tides of the ocean. As we continue back to Reykjavík we soar over lava fields, explore craters, and fly over the Hengill geothermal area to get a better idea of how power plants harness geothermal heat to provide clean, sustainable energy. The total duration of the tour is 2-2,5 hours. 80-120 minute guided helicopter flight and a 15 minute landing at a scenic location.
