Since a long time, I wanted to explore the remote places of the highlands and especially Askja. As many of the sites in the Highlands, Asjka can only be reach by a 4x4 and I must say, after being on the road, that you cannot by the smallest 4x4 you can rent! They are a few rivers to cross and one is quite deep and subject to quick level changes as it's a glacial river. I decided to book a day tour to Askja, as I was in Myvatn on holidays for few days. Myvatn is accessible by the ring road : 6h from Reykjavik, 1h20 from Akureyri, 2h10 from Egillstadir. If you are in the north of Iceland, it's

I went on a truly memorable 14-hour guided tour of the highland of Iceland. Our destination was the Askja caldera and the Víti explosion crater. There had been an earthquake and landslide in July by Askja, and the water level of Lake Askja was now 2 meters higher than before. I was lucky to visit this area early in August, as on the 29th of August, the earthquakes started for real, and a volcanic eruption started, and lasted for 6 months! We drove from Akureyri town towards Mývatn at 6:30 in the morning and picked up more passengers the
