Embark on an Unforgettable Adventure
Take a journey into the depths of a dormant volcano and explore the wonders of the Earth like never before. Iceland is the only place on the planet where you can venture inside the magma chamber of a volcano. This once-in-a-lifetime experience is both thrilling and awe-inspiring.
What to Expect
The adventure begins with a short 30-minute drive from Reykjavík, followed by a scenic 45-minute hike (3 km each way) through the rugged Icelandic landscape. At the entrance of the Thríhnúkagígur Volcano—don’t worry about pronouncing it—you’ll be equipped with specialized gear to descend 120 meters into the volcano’s magma chamber. Here, you’ll discover a hidden world of vibrant colors and natural formations, untouched by light or human influence for millennia.
A Unique Geological Marvel
The Thríhnúkagígur Volcano last erupted 4,000 years ago and has remained dormant ever since. Its name translates to “Three Peaks Crater,” and one of these peaks serves as the entrance to the magma chamber you’ll explore. To grasp the scale of this natural wonder, consider this: the chamber is so vast, it could easily fit the Statue of Liberty inside!
