Journey to the volcano top   

Starting with a bus tour from Stykkishólmur, we’ll drive to the base of Snæfellsjökul volcano, from where a Snowcat will take you to the summit. Topped with a glacier, Snæfellsjökull is a spectacular location that perfectly fits Iceland’s nickname ‘The Land of Fire and Ice’, and also inspired part of Jules Verne’s famous novel, ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’.
