Your expert guide shares geological insights and volcanic stories that bring Iceland’s fiery origins to life, a truly unique experience.

Next we continue to the colourful geothermal area of Seltún. Hissing steam vents, bubbling mud pools and vivid mineral streaks in turquoise, red and gold create a landscape alive with geothermal energy.
