We head straight out of Reykjavik and follow the national highway to to site of the recent volcanic eruptions with a good view of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano for most of the trip.

Volcano Sites

Of course, volcanoes are not constantly erupting in Iceland. There are plenty of great photo opportunities at the site of inactive volcanoes. There are extensive lava fields and fascinating craters to explore.

Hot water

We can see the direct effect of being on a very hot rock when the water spouts out of the earth in the form of geysers. There are many colourful hot-spring areas to explore not too far from Reykjavik.
