Day 3 — Rjúpnavellir – Landmannalaugar bathing – Hungurfit

The Land of Volcanoes

On this day, we will venture into the heart of Iceland’s volcanic landscape, with its fascinating colors and shapes. As we ride, you’ll see how the volcanic activity has sculpted the terrain into craters and lava fields, creating a truly unique and otherworldly environment.

We’ll visit Mt Hekla, one of Iceland’s most active volcanoes, and hear stories of its eruptions over the centuries. We’ll also explore the stunning Ljótipollur and Hnausapollur volcano craters, with their bright turquoise waters and rugged surroundings.

As we continue on, our knowledgeable guides will share tales of the explorers of old and distant reaches of space, drawing connections to the unearthly landscapes surrounding us.

We’ll end the day at the Hungurfit Mountain Hut, a cozy and welcoming refuge in the midst of the highlands, where we’ll enjoy delicious Icelandic cuisine and unwind after a day of exploration.
