More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Dusk in Iceland is deceptive: on a summer evening the sky stays pale and the hills hold a long, slow light that makes even pumice and lava glow. On this Reykjavik-area ATV tour travelers meet a guide, collect helmets and suits, then climb Hafrafell and the nearby Wolf Mountain on two-seat quads as the Midnight Sun leans toward the horizon. The rides alternate open gravel tracks, scrubby lava fields and short steep pitches where the machine and rider work together.
