THE VOLCANO IS NO LONGER ACTIVE!!!
On the afternoon of August 3, 2022, the ground split open in the plains of the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland, and lava began to flow to the surface. The volcano is located near Fagradalsfjall, which was active for the entire first half of 2021.
How to Get to the Maradalir Volcano?
Park at one of the parking lots designated for viewing the Fagradalsfjall crater, ideally the first one (GPS: 63.866345, -22.316711). From there, take Route A (Gönguleið A) until you reach the lava field, approximately at this point (GPS: 63.887779, -22.281512). Follow the edge of the lava field, which will lead you to a hill from where you can see the volcano in the Meradalir valley. The hike takes approximately one hour and forty minutes.
