TOUR 3 - Hvannadalshnjúkur

Skaftafell Mountains - Hvannadalshnjúkur

In this flight we will fly over the colourful area of Kjós located at the end of Morsárdalur on our way to the highest peak of Iceland Hvannadalshnjúkur (2119 m). The peak is part of the crater rim of Öræfajökull now filled with ice that spills over to feed it´s outlet glaciers. Öræfajökull has erupted twice in historic times 1362 and 1727. This tour offers a great view over the glacier tongues coming of the main Vatnajökull ice cap.
