I had an amazing hike to the Meradalir Viewpoint, a round trip of 12 Kms for which the ascent & descent was moderately difficult given the 200 m + rise from car park & the stoney path/uneven terrain. Passing to see the fields from the 2021/2 eruptions was a truly awe inspiring sight of the power of the earth. The scenic views as far as the sea were fantastic. I enjoyed seeing some of the bird life too including the snow bunting. We saw molten from an active volcano for the first time in our lives! Didn't do the full trail since it was late. But we got some nice pictures, especially from the road. Parking is plentiful although I was surprised how many people were there. I'd recommend allowing at least a couple hours for the hike to the volcano and back from the parking lot Wow! We were not expecting to see but we did and we were able to walk in it and feel the heat. What a way to start our vacation. Be careful though as we later found out some of this can fall through into molten and a hole. Tread carefully. Easy to get to, I suggest an hour before sunset as we did so you can se le the flowing and sulphur. With the A/B track it takes around 1H to get to the nearest point, it's now muddy (august) but not very challenging not many up or downhills just walking on mud and rocks ;) 3.1 kilometer hike to the top of the viewing area and the volcano itself was not visible. I only give it two stars because the family and I where together and made the best of it. The wind was ripping, beware. We saw the volcano in late July 2023. To this day it still stands as one of the coolest natural things I’ve seen in my life. The trail killed me, and I was already dying before we started heading back - however, it was the first day of our round-Europe trip, and I don’t hike a lot 😅 There are no public restrooms on the trail itself, so be prepared to look for private locations if it deems necessary ;) For experienced hikers this shouldn‘t be too bad. Very nice spot, you have a variety of hiking trails to choose from. Once you arrive at the parking (which you can pay for by downloading an app), there is a big map with all the trails clearly described. We took trail A, 1h one way (2h total), to Storholl, which is a very nice viewing spot where you can see all the races of from 2021. The trail isn't easy, it has lots of pebbles and loose stones, so can be quite slow to walk back down. Definitely worth it. Visited on 30/07/2025 — still active eruption visible! There are several viewpoints offering great views of the volcanic eruption. Truly an incredible and unforgettable experience. We parked our car at P1 and walked about 1 hour.
