About
A volcano in South Coast. Part of Iceland's active volcanic system that shapes the landscape.
The landscape around volcanic areas looks otherworldly. Black rock, steam vents, the smell of sulfur. Another planet.
Part of Iceland's volcanic belt, this area sits atop the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where tectonic plates are slowly pulling apart.
The terrain can be sharp and uneven. Good hiking boots aren't optional, they're essential.
