Maelifell
Maelifell is an incredible, now inactive, volcano that is now standing by itself surrounded by sandy land and many small streams. It's lush greenery stands out with amazing contrast to the desert of black sands. The road to Maelifell can be quite rough, four wheel drive is recommended, but the views are well worth the tricky driving. Mælifell is only accessible at the height of summer, usually between June and September. This is because the roads and hiking routes leading towards it become inaccessible due to snow, and attempting to cross them is extremely dangerous for both travellers and rescuers.
