Since the eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcano in March 2021, the Reykjanes Peninsula has been transformed by nature’s immense power. Imagine — with each eruption, new land is born! An incredible experience to witness Mother Earth creating new land before your eyes.
Now that the area is safe, it’s the perfect time to hike these newly formed landscapes and explore the raw beauty of a land still in the making.
The series of eruptions, starting in 2021, have left behind vast lava fields, some still simmering with heat, others already covered in a carpet of new, rugged terrain. From the powerful 2021 eruption in Geldingadalur Valley to the most recent activity near Sýlingarfell in November 2024, the land is constantly changing, evolving, and creating a landscape unlike any other.
Setting foot onto new land
We invite you to hike the newly formed land masses, exploring the rugged terrain and feeling the raw power beneath your feet. This isn’t just a hike; it’s a journey through history in the making. See how the lava has altered the landscape, closing roads and creating new pathways through one of the most active volcanic zones in the world.
But that’s not all – we will also guide you through a scenic drive across the area, immersing you in the dramatic views of the ever-changing terrain. To make this adventure even more special, we’ve combined it with a relaxing wellness experience at the iconic Blue Lagoon Retreat Hotel. After your hike, you’ll unwind in the soothing thermal waters of the Blue Lagoon, enjoying world-class wellness treatments and a culinary experience that will leave you feeling rejuvenated.
A Wall of Protection
You will also have the opportunity to see the protective wall built to safeguard Iceland’s essential infrastructure, including a local power plant and the Blue Lagoon. This feat of engineering stands as a testament to Iceland’s resilience, protecting the country’s most treasured sites from the relentless flow of lava.
