The Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland awoke after 6,000 years of slumber when it erupted in 2021 and again in 2022, but is currently dormant.

The eruption site is an hour's drive from Reykjavík and about 30 minutes from Keflavík airport.

FROM REYKJAVÍK. Take route 41 towards Keflavík, turn onto route 43 towards Grindavík and follow route 427 until you see the marked parking lots.

FROM KEFLAVIK. There are two routes available that pass through Grindavík. They make a nice Reykjanes circle if you go either way.

Option 1: Take Route 41 towards Reykjavík, turn right onto Route 43 towards Grindavík and follow Route 427 until you see the parking signs. Option 2: Along the coast, take route 41 towards Reykjavík, turn right onto route 44 towards Hafnir, continue on route 425 towards Grindavík and follow route 427 until you see signposted parking lots.
