Climbing Hekla: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

Suðurland

The region of Suðurland is in the south of the country. Its capital city is Selfoss and not only has several volcanic formations, such as Hekla. It also houses large glaciers, many streams and several waterfalls. A perfect place for those looking for a multi-activity experience.

Myths that do not daunt

Many years ago, the Hekla volcano was considered "The Entrance of Hell" or "The Judas Prison". It was believed that it was one of the routes used by the devil to transport the souls to the glaciers of the sea and freeze them. However, these legends remained in the past.

**Landscapes **

In terms of landscapes, Iceland and its southern region have no competition. In your mountain climbing trip, take a time to visit its icy lagoons, cliffs, canyons and beaches of unique colors. These are just some of the sceneries that you will find in the surroundings of Hekla.

Summer (June-September) is the high season, the time when more people come to Iceland. The weather is softer and the days are longer, ideal conditions for a mountain climbing trip.

The temperature in Iceland is higher than you might expect, but it is still cold. The average temperature is around 1 or 2ºC in winter, and around 12 °C in summer. But it can drop to -10 °C, or rise to 20 or 25°C.
