Interesting places and scenery near Fosshotel Hellnar, West Iceland

Snæfellsjökull National Park and glacier

One of the most famous landmarks in Iceland, Snæfellsjökull is a 700,000-year-old stratovolcano with a glacier cap, situated on the most western part of the Snæfellsnes peninsula. The crater served as the entrance to the fantastical subterranean world in Jules Verne’s classic 1864 novel, Journey to the Centre of the Earth and the peninsula also found fame in the 90s when thousands of people congregated to welcome aliens to Earth. There must be something magical in the air around Snæfellsjökull though – for centuries it has been considered a source of power, mysticism and energy amongst the superstitious locals and its reputation holds strong.

Eldborg volcano crater

The best example in Iceland of a spatter ring crater, Eldborg rises 60 m above the surrounding lava. Some geologists believe the crater formed five to eight thousand years ago, while others think there was a second eruption in historical time. Formed from splashes of lava, which accumulated around the vent, the crater is steep-sided, though not a difficult climb.

Vatnshellir Cave

Make your own journey to the centre of the earth with a tour down into the depths of the 8,000-year-old Vatnshellir Cave. This lava tube descends 35m below the surface and stretches more than 200m in length, so expect to negotiate staircases and uneven ground during this unique and unforgettable experience – sensible shoes are a must. Marvel at the fascinating formations and features in the upper part of the lava cave, before experiencing what total darkness looks and feels like in the lower regions when your guide switches off the torch.
