    Hiking

    The Eldfell is a volcano with a 200m high cinder cone on Heimaey. It formed without warning in a volcanic eruption a few hundred meters outside the town of Heimaey on January 23, 1973. The volcano has been dormant since the eruptions ended in July 1973. On its summit you have a great all-round view over almost the entire island

    Hiking

    There is a moderate way up and a steep shortcut; however, it is quite slippery. The climb is definitely worth it!

    Hiking

    A 200m high active volcano that you can climb. But don't worry, it's been a long time since the last eruption. From the top you have a great view.
