Message from Elisa in Iceland

You can hike to this active volcano that is in the central highlands of Iceland.

You first have to drive to the parking area (this road is only accessible with a 4x4 and there are a few river crossings) and it is quite a long drive. So you can drive there yourself, but you can also just go with a travel company.

From the parking lot, it’s about 45 min - 1 hour walk to the Viti crater. But the drive and hike together are definitely a day trip.

And you can actually take a dip in "hell" (Viti means hell). So if you want to try that, bring your swimsuit.
