But now it’s possible to enjoy the breathtaking views from above by helicopter.We are offering a complete tour of these dazzling kettles around Modrudalur in the comfort of our Helicopter Ride. For more information, please stick with us to the very end.
How do these kettle holes form?
In general, some specific conditions or geological abnormalities result in a jökulhlaup impact i.e overflow of water due to floods, Glacier receding (melting of ice chunks) , Seismic activity (earthquakes) , and Volcanic activity.
Kettle Holes are shallow ponds formed in outwash plains, or sandurs, at a glacier’s toe. Usually, such small ponds occur in the Southern Iceland region due to high volcanic activity. But after the reveal of these small ponds in Modrudalur in the northeastern region of Iceland. It is now possible to enjoy similar views of the southern region on the east side.
Our helicopter ride is unique in this perspective because we are the only tour agency providing a helicopter ride towards Modrudalur kettle holes.
How does Modrudalur Kettle seem?
Even though these kettles look beautiful from the ground, they look quite ethereal from the sky. The water from above looks sparkling, almost turquoise. However, that is not the only hue. Depending upon the weather condition and the position of the sun, you will see shades of blue, green and muddy brown of the glacial water.
