The Laki Craters are a volcanic fissure system in South Iceland formed during the Skaftá Fires of 1783–1784. The eruption is among the largest in recorded history and had severe effects on Icelandic nature, climate and society. For a broader journey through the region, this stop can be combined with places such as Fimmvörðuháls and Fjaðrárgljúfur . Access, weather and local conditions can vary during the year, so current information should be checked when planning a visit.

The place can form part of a wider trip through South Iceland, combining naturally with other landscape, heritage and travel experiences depending on interests and season.
