This long yet challenging hike takes you through stunning landscapes including snow, ice, and ash from the most recent volcanic eruptions. Start your journey to the top of the mountain through a glacier with many fissures, where you can see the huge crater, the remnants of which were left behind by previous eruptions. Glacier walking devices such as crampons (an assistive device attached to footwear to improve mobility on snow and ice) are required. If you happen to reach the top of the mountain on a clear day, you can observe half the island consisting of glaciers, volcanoes, and the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago. From May 4 to September is the time to experience a sense of adventure, like skiing. The climb can last anywhere from 8 to 10 hours, although challenging, but you will definitely find yourself on top of the world at this glacier volcano.
