This unique superjeep tour takes you up onto Eyjafjallajokull, the glacier which now lies on top of the volcano which caused travel disruption across Europe by erupting in 2010. Today the volcano slumbers beneath a thick layer of ice.
Begin from Iceland’s south coast as you start to climb the slopes of the glacier with not much effort with the help of a highly equipped 4×4 super jeep. As you climb to the top take in the astonishing view over the whole South coast of Iceland, including the Westman-Islands off shore. Weather and conditions permitted, you will be able to get out and walk on top of the glacier itself.
Shush, don't tell anyone. Kvernufoss is one of Iceland's less coveted waterfalls, but is actually the most magical. Hunt it out behind rock formations and rivers – it's a must see!
