Located on the edge of Vatnajökull glacier, Jökulsárlón lake provides spectacular views of the glacier.
Kirkjufell (Icelandic: Church Mountain, 463 m high) mountain and the north coast of Snæfellsnes peninsula, Iceland.
This beautiful landmark is the most photographed mountain in Iceland. Its isolated position jutting out into the sea makes it a focal point for tourists and seamen alike. Surrounded by beaches, Kirkjufell has a lovely walking trail around it as well as a more challenging climb up to the top where bird and fish fossils can be found.
Fagradalsfjall started erupting on the 19 March 2021.
Fortunately it is currently only threatening a road and Internet connection in the area and there is no imminent threat to live or villages.
The weather in Iceland is highly variable and on the day we planned to see the vulcano, the fog was so heavy you could not see it from a hill opposite. In the evening with the fog lifting we did follow a well established trail taking you to a hill with impressive views opposite the vulcano. The view was something out of the Lord of the Rings. Dark large lava fields with in the middle the vulcano erupting every 20 minutes or so surrounded by smoke. Seeing this around midnight at blue hour was particularly impressive with the dark oranges and reds.
it is thought that the eruption may continue for quite some time and if possible it is quite a sight to visit if you are in Iceland.
