This is in a way the first leg of the way to the moon since this is where Neil Armstrong and his fellow astronauts practised by this volcano before the Apollo missions due to this out of this world landscape. It's only accessible by car from June until September when the first snow closes the highland road. The map link below cover this part of the Askja road but there are several routes up there and i recommend road.is for general information, or a tourist service since it's easy.
The light up there is very strange, it can range from the most dull landscape in the world to weird popping colours from extreme volcanism and pumice from the 1875 eruption, but we start this tour on the lava from 1961. Ground uplift has been detected by Aslkia volcano and we expect the next eruption to occur sooner than later, and feel tree to chek out mi mini doc about Askja for all about the history of this extremely powerful volcano.
