Fagradalsfjall

The volcano rises 385 meters above sea level, featuring multiple craters and extensive lava fields across the Reykjanes Peninsula terrain.

The volcanic system remained dormant for 800 years until March 2021, when a series of eruptions began creating new geological formations.

Scientists and researchers from around the world gather at Fagradalsfjall to study the patterns of volcanic activity and geological processes.

Visitors can access the observation areas through marked hiking trails, with local authorities providing regular updates on safety conditions.

The continuous eruptions since 2021 have formed new craters and changed the landscape multiple times, revealing the formation process of volcanic features.
