Eyjafjallajokull-summit-hike 2025

Region: South Iceland
Coordinates: 63.6256731° N 19.6788904° W
Weather: °C, Wind at km/h, % Humidity
Population:

Eyjafjallajokull (Directly translated: “The Island Mountains’ Glacier”) or rather its mountain range is among the highest of the country, 5500 feet (1666m). It derives its name from the Island Archipelago off the south coast, The Vestman Islands. This mountain massif is actually the result of continuous eruptions during thousands of years and a vast crater on top has probably been active a few times during historic times of this country.

Two aircraft have crashed on the icecap. In 1952 an American rescue plane, with five on board, went down and only one body was found on location. The other four obviously had escaped and walked away, not to be found during the next few years. Twelve years later, another body was found and a wedding ring of another. The glacier tongue delivered the remaining three bodies in the summer of 1966. Scrap and pieces from the plane have been appearing gradually in and by the sides of the glacier. In 1975, an American couple crashed and lost their lives.
