Fly above a new volcanic area on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula on a 35–50 minute helicopter flight from Reykjavik. Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the skies of Iceland, observing lava fields, Mount Esja, and Faxafloi Bay from above.
Set off from the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik, where 19 miles (30 km) away lies a new volcano in an area with three eruptions in the last two years. Climb aboard this five- or six-seater helicopter and lift off into the sky.
