Grabrok Crater
About the place
Grábrók is the largest of a short line of cones thrown up by a fissure eruption about 3,400 years ago, and one of the easiest volcanoes in Iceland to climb. It stands beside the Ring Road in Borgarfjörður, in the west of the country. A boardwalk and wooden steps run up the flank, and a path circles the crater at the top.
