Journey to the volcano top
Starting with a bus tour from Stykkishólmur, we’ll drive to the base of Snæfellsjökull volcano, where a snowcat will take you to the summit. Topped with a glacier, Snæfellsjökull is a spectacular location that perfectly fits Iceland’s nickname, ‘The Land of Fire and Ice’. It also inspired part of Jules Verne’s famous novel, Journey to the Center of the Earth.
