The volcano is part of a ridge 110 kilometres east of Reykjavik. The roads in the area are poor to say the least, especially the mountain roads (tracks), expect the journey to take around 3 – 4 hours each way.
Suggest you contact Nature Explorer at info@NatureExplorer for full details as they operate a very long day excursion to the volcano, June – October only. Prices start from 78000 ISK ($600)
