Maelifell volcano in Iceland is a stunning green cone-shaped mountain located in the remote highlands. Covered in vibrant moss, it stands out against the black sands of Maelifellsandur and is a popular filming location for movies and TV shows. Accessible via challenging F-roads, visitors can drive or join a tour to reach this iconic sight. The hike to the colourful Rauðibotn crater offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area, making it a must-do adventure in Iceland.
