Bakgrunnur
Saga og bakgrunnur
The Reykjanes Peninsula had been volcanically quiet for 800 years before eruptions began at Fagradalsfjall in March 2021. The eruptions produced spectacular lava fountains and lava flows that could be safely viewed by visitors who hiked to the site. Subsequent eruption series in 2022, 2023 and 2024 continued to reshape the landscape. The 2023 eruption threatened the town of Grindavík and Blue Lagoon, forcing evacuations. The ongoing volcanic activity has made Reykjanes one of the most remarkable volcanic observation zones on Earth.
Fagradalsfjall is one of the most interesting natural attractions in reykjanes of Iceland.
Þjóðsögur
Saga og þjóðsögur
Fagradalsfjall became globally famous in March 2021 when lava began erupting from a fissure on the Reykjanes Peninsula — the first eruption on the peninsula in 800 years. Over the following months, hundreds of thousands of Icelanders and tourists hiked to watch lava fountains, rivers and flows in real time. Subsequent eruptions in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 continued the series, each slightly different in location and character. The area around Fagradalsfjall has been transformed from unremarkable lava heath into an active geological theatre. When no eruption is active, the cooling lava fields and still-steaming fissures are accessible on foot through Reykjanes Peninsula volcanic trails. One of the few places in Europe you can safely watch active volcanism.

The Troll of Fagradalsfjall
An ancient tale speaks of a troll who once roamed Fagradalsfjall. The troll was caught by the rising sun while traveling home and turned to stone, becoming part of the landscape. Local people say you can still see the troll's silhouette in the mountain formation, forever frozen as a reminder to respect the power of daylight.
