Kerlingarfjoll lies between the Langjokull and Hofsjokull glaciers. It features colorful rhyolite mountains and steaming hot springs, a gorgeous setting to behold.

The tour lasts 2.5-3 hours and includes two 15-minute landings. Because Icelandic mountaintops can be freezing and windy, wear warm clothing, including a jacket, hat, gloves, and good outdoor shoes.

Next, you’ll climb back onboard the helicopter and continue inland to Kerlingarfjoll. The tour’s second landing is at Hverabotnar, a magnificent place to walk in the towering mountains and appreciate the serene atmosphere.
