Description

The Icelandic highlands embody Europe's last true wilderness, shaped by the raw forces of volcanoes, glaciers, glacial rivers, and lava flows—a realm untouched by human hands. Opting for a Superjeep tour to Landmannalaugar offers a glimpse into this unique world, akin to stepping into the shoes of a modern-day explorer or a character from a science fiction saga. Traversing the lava fields en route to Landmannalaugar and reaching the ethereal rhyolite mountains contribute to an unforgettable experience. Whether you choose to relax in the geothermal pools, embark on a day hike, or something in between, simply reaching this area stands as a noteworthy achievement for a day tour. The journey from Reykjavík to Landmannalaugar winds through picturesque landscapes, passing landmarks like the geothermal power plant Hellisheiðarvirkjun and the lava tunnel Raufarhólshellir beneath Hellisheiði. Progressing toward the Þjórsárdalur valley, shaped by a colossal prehistoric lava flow that still leaves its mark on the terrain after 8000 years. The region hosts active volcanoes, including the infamous Eyjafjallajökull to the south and Mount Hekla along our route—referred to as 'The Mother of all Volcanoes' and 'The Gates of Hell' in medieval times. Mount Hekla, one of Iceland's most active volcanoes, erupts approximately every decade, with historical eruptions significantly impacting the area and beyond. The narrative encompasses the impactful Lakagígar eruption in 1784, creating a lava field comparable to the size of Chicago and influencing historical events like the French Revolution. Additionally, the Hekla eruption in 1104 covered the area, including the farm Stöng, later unearthed and reconstructed in 1974, providing insights into medieval Icelandic housing. Upon arriving at Landmannalaugar, the surroundings undergo a transformative shift in both color and shape. The light hues of the Rhyolite Mountains, Mount Blue Peak, and Laugahraun Lava Field create striking contrasts, offering a captivating conclusion to the journey.
