Askja volcano
Central Highlands, Iceland

Way off the beaten track in the central Highlands, Askja makes for an adventurous trip via 4×4, and is only accessible between May and September due to snowfall. It’s a long, bumpy detour of more than 80km from the Ring Road, followed by a strenuous hike. Guided tours can be arranged from Arnarnes.
