    Although the interior is only available to visit during the summer season, when the roads are not covered with a layer of snow, it is well worth the trip.

    Rainbow mountains, beautiful volcano craters, wild hot springs, unusual waterfalls, boundless lava fields and lunar plains covered with even gray volcanic gravel are just some of the attractions of this beautiful part of Iceland.

    Although driving in on your own requires basic off-roading experience, most places can also be reached by public mountain buses, which run regularly on several routes.
