I love that you’re sharing this hike!
great video...thanks so much. this is so informative and useful for an upcoming trip at the end of next april.
Thanks for making this video, planning to go later in the year. Love all your videos, they were so helpful with our last trip two years ago.
We loved our exciting drive of the Ring several weeks ago. LOVE Iceland. Keep those videos comin'--can't get enough of that amazing, dynamic place. Thanks!!!
Nice to see you back making videos Jeanie. Have been following the volcano since the beginning and had wondered when the Iceland with a View version was coming! Regardless of how long the volcano will erupt I think this will become one of Icelands long term attractions. The view of the lava field from the top of route C is still pretty amazing.
Planning to hike this in less than 2 weeks from today. Thanks so much for this video! Very informative.
Thanks for the Video's, they made our trip to wonderful Iceland a lot better.
Thanks for doing this video. I'm heading to Iceland myself in a month, but only for 5 days, and a trip to the volcano is on the list of things to do, so this video has been great to watch to give me an idea of what to expect.
That is indeed a nice view! Thx! 🙂
Thank you so much for this video! Flying to Iceland next weekend and hesitant about the volcano hike; your video certainly helped me see things clearer and not rush myself into a (rather expensive) guided tour without any insight on the subject. Mega useful tips, especially the websites you mention in the video. Greetings from Switzerland!
THANK YOU Jeannie!! Just in time for our first visit in two weeks!
The volcano was at the top of my list for our trip. My hub is Icelandic and his sisters had warned us that conditions can change quickly. We went open-minded on Friday. The weather was fantastic and we enjoyed our day, even though we did not see molten lava moving. BTW, love your videos!
Love seeing all the familiar scenery. We went twice when we were there end of July-beginning of August and missed the lava erupting. It changes so quickly we literally just missed it by a few hours. Beautiful nonetheless!!
In the air now on the way to Iceland. This video was great. Looking forward hiking the volcano later this week
We hiked path C September 17 - got to see red hot magma flowing! Went back two days later, hiked path A and lava had cooled. Path A is a much longer and a difficult hike straight up. Thank you for the SouthWest guide! Your insight made the trip. Loved the SouthWest map, too! You took the hard work out of planning the trip!
Thanks for the hike. Its amazing how many people were walking on the lava. Thats a 1000 degrees if your foot falls through.
Thank you Jeanie 😇🥰 Love the infos very interesting and insightful 👍

We went Wednesday and had an amazing time. Got caught in winds, hail and snow on the return but it was all part of the adventure.
Hi! Will you make an updated video to hike to the volcano site now? We will be visiting Iceland soon and love your videos 😊
Thank you for the video.
We are flying to Iceland on Tuesday and also want to visit the volcano at least once.
So this is really interesting and helpful.
Same here- hiked it in August and no activity. Did get it see it erupting from our Air Bnb in Hafnir though, so that was cool. Great video full of tips- thanks, Jeannie!
Great video! I did that same hike in July. Up was easy but down was tricky. Very steep with lots of sliding. Also no activity sadly. :( But still awesome to see!!!
I did the same hike in August! Didn't see flowing lava but it was an amazing experience regardless!
We did the hike on the 11th and 12th of September and took route A and B. These were some of the last days you could route A since shortly after it was partially to close to liquid lava.
I found both routes pretty taxing, however I was 10 weeks pregnant and not the fittest person to begin with.
BUT even though I was dripping sweat when we arrived it was absolutely worth it. We were super close to the errupring cratar. Seeing an active vulcano at day and night is one of the most beautyful things you could ever see. However I would not recomend the hike at night while pregnant.
My wife and I did the same parking lot and trail in July and volcano was very active. This was my 7th visit to Iceland. I met you at the brewery. I gave out some calendars at the event. We went to the brewery but it has changed and the no longer make there own beer. I will look for an old email from you and send you some of my pics. Planning for my 8th visit next year. end of July and Aug and leave some time in Sept. after seeing the northern lights. Perhaps we could get together for lunch or something and give you some of my new calendars. Have a great day and thank you for the video. Ben
Just got back yesterday, got to see the volcano!
Hallo toll das Du dort warst ich war im August 2 Wochen auf Island am 26. August auch am Vulkan 🌋es war sehr beeindruckend . War jetzt inzwischen im Winter und im Sommer dort immer eine Reise währt
Thank you for sharing these very helpful tips! I'm planning a trip to Iceland in february - do you think it would be possible / safe to do this hike at this time?
I plan on coming back to Iceland next week! I hope the weather permits a hike.
I missed the eruption by 4 weeks last year. So I told myself that if it erupted again I would go. So I booked a spontaneous trip for 8/19-23. I'm so excited! I hiked it last year too. Coming from Florida 😁
After your hike, could you tell me all about it? Which path u took, how long it took etc?
@@emiliatrae176 sure!! I think most hikers are taking path A. From what I have read the hike takes about 2 hours each way. It's harder than the one from last year apparently.
Yes, that's what I read too! It's just that we arrive on September 1st at 4pm, so with picking up the car, getting groceries and driving there, I guess we can only expect to start the hike at 5pm. A bit worried that might be too late for 4-5 hours hiking and watching the volcano. But I read that a lot tours just start at 6pm... That's why I'm asking everyone about the hike, might have to take path C, I read it's a bit shorter and not that close to the eruption scene but u can still see it 🤔
We hiked back in august and got to see the volcano
I went in July the field was still hot but nothing more. It started raining a bit so I couldn’t be bothered to hike up 😂
We were in Iceland from the 14th of August to the 26th. Did the ring road. The day we had plans to hike to the Volcano, it rained and was very foggy. Couldn't see anything. 😭
Now from the 1.10.2021 I will be in Iceland and I will go there :D
I was there in August. My wife and I did our baby announcement there 😀
Iceland ! I'm coming ho ho ho ho ! =D
Hello everyone! Does anyone know which path should we take to reach the volcano? thanks a lot
For those who are going to visit: Go in the late afternoon and stay until it´s dark. You will love it. Bring as much clothes as possible because you will stay much (!!!) longer than you´ve planned. And bring a flashlight or headlight (but don´t hesitate if you forgot one, there are so many people with light, you won´t loose your way).
I miss the volcano! Hiked there 6 times and now i feel like it wasn't enough haha
This trail can be walked in the beginning of November?
Are the trails to the volcano open 24 hours a day?
Link to hiking poles does not resolve. :-(
Was wondering where you were! Want to attend fireworks for the fundraiser at Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon. Have you been?
Can we fly drone der??
Can you give the address you type in the GPS to get to parking lot C
စိန်မျာရှိသောနေရာရောက်ချင်သည်ငါလိုက်ရှာနေတာတကယ်ပဲအံဩစရာများ
I normally enjoy your videos but the poor audio is really distracting in your car. Once you got out of the car it was fine and the info very helpful.
i thought she meant "no volcano"
Interesting VLOG BUT! you need to address and FIX the Audio. IT completely destroys the VLOG!
