Laki

Lakagígar is a row of more than 130 craters over 29 km long in Vatnajökull National Park, about 35 km north-west of Kirkjubæjarklaustur, formed in the Skaftáreldar eruption of 1783–84, which led to famine in Iceland. Trails start at a ranger station by the mountain Laki, reached by four-wheel drive on the F206 highland road, open only in summer.
