Volcano Hiking
Guided ascents of Iceland's active and dormant volcanoes, where the landscape shifts from green tundra to lunar black lava fields and steam vents as you climb to summits shaped by geological forces. Iceland sits atop the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, making it one of the most volcanically active places on Earth — Hekla, Askja, Snæfellsjökull, and the recently-erupting Reykjanes Peninsula are all hikeable with the right guide and conditions. Always check volcanic alert levels before departure — conditions can change with very little warning.
