Snæfellsjökull National Park is situated on the Snæfellsness peninsula. The park was established on June 28, there you can find many famous sites including the magnificent glacier Snæfellsjökull (Snæfell Glacier), Djúpalónssandur beach, Lóndrangar the two massive lava formations, Sönghellir (the singing cave) and Rauðfeldargjá the hidden waterfall. The main purpose of establishing the park was to protect the unique landscape of the area, the rare plant and animal life and also the important historical relics around the mountain.

The Snæfellsjökull dominates all the area, with its magnificent two pikes, created when the volcano erupted, destroying the glacier which fell down inside his magma chamber.

Accommodation: West Iceland

Day 3. Hekla volcano and swimming pool in the mountains

Hekla is a stratovolcano in the south of Iceland with a height of 1,491 metres (4,892 ft). It is one of Iceland's most active volcanoes; over 20 eruptions have occurred in and around the volcano since 874. Hekla is part of a volcanic ridge, 40 km (25 mi) long. The most active part of this ridge, a fissure about 5.5 km (3.4 mi) long named Heklugjá, is considered to be the volcano Hekla proper. Hekla looks rather like an overturned boat, with its keel being a series of craters, two of which are generally the most active.

Accommodation: Vestmannaeyjar

Day 4. Vestmannaeyjar – the Pompeii of the North

The Westman Islands or Vestmannaeyjar are without a doubt among the most beautiful places in Iceland, they consist of a group of fifteen amazing islands which are situated at a short distance off the south coast of Iceland.

We will visit Eldfell, which is a composite volcanic cone just over 200 metres high. It was formed in a huge volcanic eruption - the name means Mountain of Fire in Icelandic. This volcanic eruption is considered the largest natural disaster in Iceland in recent history. The eruption caused the destruction of a third of the town, and the massive changes to the landscape of this tiny island made world news. Now, more than 30 years have passed, and the memories and signs of the spectacular eruption are fading, but lava and ash still cover almost 400 homes and buildings.
