Hvolsvöllur

Hvolsvöllur stands along the Hvolsá River in Iceland’s Southern Region, and its position on the Ring Road has made it a key service town for travel along the south coast. The settlement lies beneath the volcanic landscapes south of Eyjafjallajökull, the glacier-covered volcano whose 2010 eruption disrupted air traffic across Europe. Hvolsvöllur is home to the Lava Centre, an exhibition devoted to Iceland’s volcanoes, earthquakes and tectonic forces. Waterfalls, black-sand shores and glacier country define the wider region.
