Embark on a thrilling helicopter ride, flying over one of the most active volcanic areas in Iceland. As you cross the Hellisheiði Plateau, you’ll see moss-covered lava fields stretching out to the horizon, interspersed with colorful basalt mountains, steaming hot springs and the very geothermal power plants that supply Reykjavik with its renewable energy.
You’ll land off the beaten track and away from the crowds in the Hengill geothermal area to witness the region’s raw energy firsthand. You’re close to hot springs and boiling mud pools here, and you might even see some sheep wandering about in the valley.
