Directions

Prepare for an adventure you'll find nowhere else on Earth—a journey into the heart of the dormant Thríhnúkagígur volcano. Your experience begins with a scenic 45-minute hike across a stunning, moss-covered lava field, a beautiful trek in itself.

Once you reach the crater, you'll descend 120 meters into the earth in an open cable lift, revealing a vast and surprisingly colorful magma chamber. Down below, you're free to explore the cavernous space, and check out the vibrant mineral stains that paint the ancient rock walls.
