Lunar Landscape

Description

This 8-hour action-packed tour is an introduction to Iceland´s extraordinary volcanic geothermal power in the lunar landscape of the Reykjanes area. The landscape is surreal, with plumes of scalding steam issuing from vents and fumaroles. Then through the real lunar landscape on the route to Kleifarvatn lake. Iceland is geology´s youngest country, formed by molten lava breaking through the Earth's crust where the European and American tectonic plates are drifting apart, which can be seen at Kleifarvatn and is evidence why Reykjanes is so volcanic. We continue to Geldingardalir, where our newest eruption started on the 19th of March 2021. There we will hike as conditions allow and see the newest lava in Iceland.  Our final stop is at Iceland´s famous Blue Lagoon for a revitalizing swim in the heated waters under the open sky, where you can literally soak in Iceland´s geothermal energy. Expect panoramic views and spectacular sites.
