Message from Isleifur Eli

Surtshellir, one of the longest lava caves in Iceland, is a must-visit spot for adventurers and folklore enthusiasts alike. Located in the Borgarfjordur district, this cave is steeped in history and myth, with tales of outlaws seeking refuge and even a fire giant supposedly calling it home. Explore its intricate tunnels and marvel at the ice formations in 'The Ice Cave'. Whether you're into spelunking or just love a good story, Surtshellir has something for everyone.

A good 4x4 is recommended to get there.
