The Story Behind the Fagradalsfjall Volcano Eruptions

The Fagradalsfjall volcano hike is more than a walk across lava. This landscape has been shaped by multiple eruptions since 2021, and hiking here with a local guide helps you understand what you are actually seeing on the trail.
​
In March 2021, the Reykjanes Peninsula saw Iceland’s first volcanic eruption in more than 800 years. A fissure opened near Fagradalsfjall after weeks of intense seismic activity, marking the return of volcanic activity to this part of southwest Iceland.
The eruption quickly drew global attention and transformed the area into one of Iceland’s most remarkable hiking destinations. Since then, eruptions in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 have continued reshaping the lava fields, trails, and viewpoints around Grindavík and the Reykjanes Peninsula.
Today, a guided Fagradalsfjall volcano tour offers much more than scenery. You experience a landscape that is still fresh, evolving, and deeply connected to Iceland’s geology and recent volcanic history.
