Summary
Description
Fly over the Reykjanes Peninsula on this helicopter tour and see the craters from the Fagradalsfjall Volcano eruption and the lava fields left by past eruptions.
The tour begins when you meet your pilot at the departure point by Reykjavik Domestic Airport. Your pilot briefs you on the route, and then you board the helicopter, buckle up, and take off.
From the air, you see Reykjavik with its brightly colored tin roofs, modern architecture, and surrounding nature. The helicopter then turns west, and your flight over the Reykjanes Peninsula begins.
The volcanic landscape of this barren region is best seen from above. Craters pass beneath you among wide lava fields, and you fly over the rugged coastline, weathered by the Atlantic Ocean.
The Reykjanes Peninsula is home to many natural sights. You see Kleifarvatn Lake, wide and calm, Graenavatn Lake, small and blue, and the Seltun Geothermal Area. You also fly over the Blue Lagoon.
The helicopter lands at the Eldvorp Crater Row, a 6-mile (10-kilometer) row of craters with geothermal activity, where steam rises from the ground. You then see Keilir Mountain and the craters from the Fagradalsfjall Volcano eruption, which began in March 2021 and lasted for six months.
After about an hour, you fly back to Reykjavik Domestic Airport.
