Trip five - Hiking to the top of Mt. Hekla volcano
Iceland’s most famous mountain Mt. Hekla is the second most active volcano in Iceland and
towers over South Iceland at roughly 1500 meters. For hundreds of years the mountain was
believed to be the gateway to hell and no one dared climbing it. That was until, Eggert Ólafsson,
a famous Icelandic biologist, decided to throw caution to the wind and succeeded in summiting
the mountain in the summer of 1750.
Since then hiking to the top of Mt. Hekla has become a popular route and provides stunning
panoramic views from the top. The hike up takes an average of 3-4 hours over rough lava fields
and ice and snow as the peak draws nearer.
Departs Wednesdays at 8am from Reykjavík
