Hekla, Iceland

Hekla at a Glance

A 4,892-foot high (1,491 m) volcanic mountain that has erupted six times in the 20th century and last in February 2000. In Medieval Europe many people feared this volcano and considered it the entrance to hell.

Today, visitors come here to enjoy its beautiful surroundings and hiking trails that lead up to the summit. Hekla means “the hooded” and was named like that because its peak is often times shrouded in clouds. It’s located southwest of Landmannalaugar.
