Eyjafjallajökull Glacier 

Eyjafjallajökull is a glacier located in the south of Iceland and is known for its notoriety after the volcanic eruption that occurred in 2010. The eruption caused widespread travel disruptions throughout Europe due to the ash cloud that was produced. The glacier is situated on the edge of the ice cap of Mýrdalsjökull, which covers one of Iceland’s largest and most active volcanoes, Katla. Eyjafjallajökull is also known for its beautiful views of the surrounding landscape, including the rolling hills and mountains that stretch as far as the eye can see. Today, the glacier serves as a powerful reminder of the unpredictability of nature and the importance of protecting our planet’s delicate ecosystems. We will do a two-hour glacier hike on the glacier that is partly covered with ash from the Eyjafjallajökull eruption in 2010. You will be equipped with all the necessary gear to do the activity, such as a helmet, harness, crampons, and axe.
