Close to the Hekla volcano in Iceland’s southwest, Landmannalaugar is a must see spot for any traveller to Iceland. Known for its acidic volcanoes, their activity has stained the Rhyolite Mountains around it many different colours. The slopes go from black to blue to ochre and red in the midst of solfataras and fumaroles. Further on, the volcano cones hide turquoise lakes with crimson backgrounds. In the heart of this surreal landscape, a comfortable mountain refuge awaits; the hot water river right next to it is just what you’ll need to wind down after a day full of hiking through Landmanalaugar.
