I have been doing a video on the tours Mountain Climbing has been doing to the glacier/volcano Eyjafjallajökull on the southern coast of Iceland. This is where the floods came from during the eruption last spring.
The glacier is much bigger than you see in this video. This part of the glacier has its origins in the crater so there was a direct flood from the crater, magma melting the ice and the meltwater coming down during the eruption in April.
There used to be a lagoon in front of the glacier but it has disappeared, full with mud from the floods.

Hiking to the new lava in Iceland
Mountain Climbing is now offering hiking tours to the brandnew lava in the south of Iceland. We drive to Basar in Thorsmörk on the south coast of Iceland and then we hike up to the brandnew lava between the two glaciers, Eyjafjallajökull and Myrdalsjökull. We will step on the warm lava and walk on the ash-covered ice. It is a wonderful experience you don't get in other countries!
Duration is approximately 12 hours, pick-up and drop-off included. It takes us 2 hours to drive to Thorsmörk and close to 4 hours to walk up to the lava. The lava is in around 1.000m height. This is a hike you won't forget!
Please send us an email for more information.
