Explore the dramatic aftermath of Iceland’s most recent volcanic eruptions. The Eruption Escapade helicopter tour takes you over the Reykjanes Peninsula, where fresh lava fields, dormant craters, and steaming vents showcase the raw power of nature.
Although the volcano is not erupting, the landscape remains active and visually stunning. This tour offers a rare opportunity to witness newly formed geological wonders from the sky — a must-see for nature lovers and photographers.
The most recent eruption in the Reykjanes Peninsula began on November 20, 2024, northeast of Grindavík between Stóra-Skógfell and Sýlingarfell. A 3 km-long fissure released lava flows that approached key landmarks, including the Blue Lagoon, prompting temporary evacuations. The eruption concluded on December 9, 2024.
