At 01:00 on March 21st a volcanic eruption began in Fimmvörðuháls, in south Iceland, a well known hiking route.
Iceland is a geologically young land and its location astride the Mid Atlantic Ridge and on the Iceland Hotspot means that it is highly geologically active and has many volcanoes. Eruptions occur on average every five years and also we have several eruptions beneath ice caps, which can generate glacial bursts, most recently in 1996. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and North American Plates are moving apart, is partly responsible for this intense volcanic activity, along with Iceland being a hot spot, which means volcanism due to a rising mantle plume.
If you have always been fascinated by the beauty and the forces of nature, join our tour to the site of the volcano and experience perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime sight.
