You can walk to it,\u201d says Ryan Connolly, our <span>Hidden Iceland<\/span> guide, a native Scot who moved to Iceland five years ago to become a glacier guide. (File that one under #lifegoals.) With boots tied tightly and nerves running high, we drive toward the\u00a0<span>Fagradalsfjall volcano near<\/span>\u00a0the fishing village of Grindav\u00edk, and park in a new lot that\u2019s been created in the last month to keep up with visitor demand. Iceland Tourism\u00a0says a record 6,032 tourists were at the eruption on March 28, though many trekkers are locals who come back week after week to track the volcano\u2019s progress. The numbers have gone down since that initial surge in interest, dropping into the hundreds in June (you can track foot traffic to the hour on this site). Given that this is an effusive eruption\u2014which means the lava flows slowly and steadily, and the volcano could continue to erupt for weeks, months, even years\u2014volcano seekers can safely get within feet of the a\u2019a lava (the slower, rockier stuff),\u00a0if they so choose. From noon until midnight, Icelandic Coast Guard personnel keep daredevils in check and warn hikers if the conditions become unsafe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Video: You Can Camp in a Cave Big Enough to Hold a 14-Story Building (Travel + Leisure)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"playlist\">\n<li>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"a house covered in snow\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AAKNBEE.img\"><\/p>\n<p>These Secluded, Reflective Cabins in Canada Offer a Unique Way to Immerse Yourself in Natu<\/p>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Travel + Leisure Logo\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/BB10ff4D.img\"><\/p>\n<p><span>Travel + Leisure<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Yu Hai standing on a beach\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AAKNEIP.img\"><\/p>\n<p>Meet the 29-Year-Old Alaskan Man Changing the Salmon Industry for the Better<\/p>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Travel + Leisure Logo\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/BB10ff4D.img\"><\/p>\n<p><span>Travel + Leisure<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"a sign in front of a tall building\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AAKNwGn.img\"><\/p>\n<p>This Tribeca Hotel Has a Private Screening Room So You Can Have Your Own Film Festival<\/p>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Travel + Leisure Logo\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/BB10ff4D.img\"><\/p>\n<p><span>Travel + Leisure<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"a sunset over a body of water\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AAKNyA1.img\"><\/p>\n<p>This Hotel in Aruba Has a &#39;Sunset Concierge&#39;

A steady saunter leads to a relatively steep incline, up and over a crest; about an hour and 15 minutes later, as we pass boulders covered in moss while navigating loose volcanic rock, the main crater comes into view. It may seem asleep; it may simmer and bubble like a pot about to boil over; or you may catch it during one of its truly awesome displays.<\/p>\n<p>Words don\u2019t do justice to the sensory overload: Lava rockets out of the crater\u2019s maw, like an overzealous science experiment by the gods. Even from hundreds of feet away, you can feel the heat, as strong as a shield. Up close, the air seems to shimmer. The change in pressure, the warmth, the disbelief that you\u2019re that close to lava\u2014it\u2019s almost too much to process. Listen closely and you\u2019ll hear the lava\u2019s progress: it sounds like a fireplace crackling, or glass breaking. Is the lava moving toward you? Ever so slightly, imperceptibly. Look closely and you\u2019ll swear the lava is exhaling.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>People have called it hell on earth, but also heaven; with its fields of charcoal-colored lava and fire-y crackle in the distance, it\u2019s easy to compare this to Tolkien\u2019s Mordor. The site of Geldingadalsgos (the Gerlingadalur eruption) is growing rapidly and changing constantly, so your visit will always be entirely unique. Could it get more epic than that?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow the eruption 24\/7 with this live cam.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>>>Next: Iceland Has Reopened to Travelers\u2014Here\u2019s Everything You Need to Know<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/travel\/news\/what-its-like-to-hike-to-see-icelands-erupting-volcano\/ar-AAKQcKy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geldingadalsgos Volcano Site Hike Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland Distance: 4 miles round-trip (give or take) Difficulty: Moderate &#169;
