Stunning scenery and a convenient and fantastic location.
With steaming rivers, bubbling mud pools, geysers, dramatic volcanic landscapes, lava fields, and fields of volcanic ash,
the Viking Ultra course introduces you to the unique landscapes of Iceland.
The next course will take you to the edge of the New Lava fields from the 2021, 2022 and 2023 Volcano eruptions
The 2021, 2022 and 2023 events were affected by new 3 annual Volcanic Eruptions that were in the middle of the course, after the scientists, the Icelandic government and the National Park have not yet declared the area safe for 2024, meaning we won't have time to plan, the possibility of yet another eruption before the proposed 2024 dates is still quite high, parts of the Viking Ultra course are now under millions of tons of New Lava, join us next time to see the new course with routes that will take us up to the new lava fields, with spectacular formations and dramatic landscapes shaped just a few years ago.
