Site Update (May 1st 2013): All weather maps have been improved to make them much more useful for climbers. Animate either temperature or weather and move your cursor to any mountain location to see how the weather is forecast to evolve at various elevations. Because of the limited space on these large region maps, we can only show this at a subset of locations. We will add much more detailed maps very soon.

Walk up
Askja is a volcanic crater in east central Iceland, whose surrounding lava plain spreads for four square miles. Askja is not especially high, but has had a history of explosive eruptions. An especially powerful eruption caused extensive damage in 1875, and has been followed by several eruptions throughout the twentieth century. The most recent eruption was in April 2001. The eruption of 1875 created Lake Askja, which at 220 meters is the deepest lake in Iceland.
