A hike on the recently reopened path at Fagradalsfjall is worthwhile. Because here you can get very close to the lava of Geldingadalir, which erupted on October 28, 2021. The lava has not completely cooled down yet, because there is still smoke everywhere. Nature is the best artist, as you can see from this lava face. It smiles right at you.

After mastering the steep and slippery ascent you will be rewarded with the first wide view of the solidified lava flow and the Fagradalsfjall volcano from 2021.

Very beautiful photos that show what nature can achieve without human intervention. It's similar with trees, stones and roots.
