Askja and Vatnajokull – Airplane Tour

One of our most popular tours!

We fly from Lake Mývatn and its surroundings, over Ódáðahraun (the largest continuous lava field in Iceland) towards the stratovolcano Askja situated in the central highlands of Iceland and reaches up to 4954 ft (1510 m.). We make a circle over the caldera and go from there to Kverkfjoll Mountains, where you observe the striking contrasts between thermal heat and glaciers.

The Glacier in question, Vatnajokull, is the largest glacier in Europe. On a clear day, one can see right across it to the south all the way to Iceland's highest mountain, Oraefajokull.

Flying back we pass Mt. Herdubreid (often referred to as the Queen of Iceland's mountains) before flying back to Lake Myvatn, over Mt. Hverfjall, Mt. Namafjall and Krafla prior to returning back to the airport.

This tour provides excellent material for photography!
