Description
Travel deep into the Icelandic Highlands by super jeep to Askja Caldera and Viti Crater on this summer tour from Lake Myvatn, passing glacial rivers, mountains, and lava fields along the way.
Your expert guide picks you up at Lake Myvatn, and you head into the highlands in a 4x4 super jeep.
The first stop is Hrossaborg Crater, an explosion crater that was a filming location for the movie Oblivion. Then you visit Gljufrasmidur Waterfall, whose name means "canyon builder."
Next, you reach Herdubreid Mountain, a flat-topped volcano. At its foot are Herdubreidarlindir Springs, considered one of the most beautiful places in the Icelandic wilderness.
You also visit Drekagil Canyon, "Dragon's Gully," with its otherworldly scenery.
The highlight of the day is Askja Caldera in the Dyngjufjoll Mountains, in Vatnajokull National Park. This caldera covers about 19 square miles (50 square kilometers) and formed when an eruption caused the roof of the magma chamber in the central volcano to collapse. Inside the caldera is Viti Crater, where it's sometimes possible to swim in summer.
You then return to Lake Myvatn.
