エトリザヴァトンでののおすすめツーリングルート

If you take a stroll along the Ægisida, where locals all year round and tourists in the summer season like to walk, you’ll at some point come across a tangled shape of bronze rising from a pile of boulders. At first perhaps you won’t even pay much attention to it, with the complicity of the beautiful seascape, especially in the high tide. It took me some time to get used to that weird bronze shape placed in the vicinity of an improvised football field; the very first time, from a huge distance, it looked to me like – I admit it with a little embarrassment – a wolf howling at the sky.

As of August 18, 2025: Iceland experienced its twelfth volcanic eruption in just over four years. On the sparsely populated Reykjanes Peninsula, southwest of Reykjavik, the earth opened up again on Wednesday, July 16. Since Tuesday, August 5, no more lava has been escaping from the eruption fissure located approximately seven kilometers northeast of Grindavik. Volcanologists believe it is highly likely that the eruption has ended for the time being. The temporarily closed campsite in the town of Grindavik is now freely accessible again.

Two well designed bike bridges over the river are the landmarks of this small valley.

Bakkatjörn was protected in 2000. Bakkatjörn is an ice salt pond and has been that way since 1960 when the clay inlet that was there was closed off. A depression called Rásin (The Channel) once connected Bakkatjörn and Seftjörn, but the latter has now disappeared under urbanization.
