This 4x4 adventure, guided by an expert, commences from your pick-up point in North Iceland, usually either Akureyri or Lake Myvatn. We traverse through breathtaking sceneries of glacial rivers, mountains, and lava fields, venturing deep into the highlands to explore the spectacular Askja volcanic area. We take a stop at the Hrossborgir explosion crater, the filming location for Oblivion, and the Gljúfrasmiður ‘canyon builder’ Waterfall. Next, we proceed to Herðubreið, a tabletop volcano nestled at the base of the picturesque Herðubreiðarlindir Springs, touted as one of the most striking wilderness spots in Iceland. We also explore the ethereal Drekagil or ‘Dragon’s Gully’. Finally, the tour’s centerpiece rests at the majestic Askja Caldera in the Dyngjufjoll Mountains - a 50 km2 subsidence caldera birthed from an eruption that caused the ceiling of the central volcano’s magma chamber to sink. Within the caldera lies Víti crater, a popular spot for summer swimming if conditions allow.
