Volcano Hike in Reykjanes Peninsula from Reykjavik

The Reykjanes Geopark is located on a peninsula divided between two continents. We start the day by exploring one of the most iconic features of the Icelandic volcanic landscape, the boiling mud pools and colorful geothermal surroundings of Seltún. As we drive along the coastline of Reykjanes Peninsula, you are constantly in the presence of the roaring Atlantic Ocean, endless lava fields, and volcanic craters. Next up in our adventure is the youngest volcano in Iceland, Geldingadalur, Meradalir and Litli-Hrútur Volcano. The hike up to the craters takes about 40 minutes, where you will be able to explore the newly formed lava fields. After the volcano hike, we stop by the bridge between continents, where you get the chance to walk between the two tectonic plates. On our way back to Reykjavík, we stop by the largest mud pool in Iceland, Gunnuhver. You can feel the ground shake from the enormous power released from the boiling water and steam released.
