Hekla Volcano, known as the ‘Gateway to Hell.’ At 4,892 ft., Hekla is Iceland’s most active volcanoes; over 20 eruptions have occurred in and around the volcano since 874. We were going to try to hike to the top (that is a common hike), but it was too snowy to make it to the trailhead (and too windy to climb).
The F-225 road to Hekla got too crazy for us to make it very far.
