This unique volcano tour literally takes you inside a dormant volcano, through the top crater and to the bottom of its magma chamber, where molten magma flowed during an eruption.
Reached via an hour long hike and entered by way of an open cable lift, a descent of 120 meters, the ground space inside the volcano is equivalent in size to around three basketball courts, and the cavity could easily fit the Statue of Liberty.
Following an eruption magma chambers usually collapse, but in Thríhnúkagígur Volcano (Þríhnúkagígur) the lava drained out like water from a pipe leaving the volcano’s plumbing system empty. The Þríhnúkagígur crater is therefore one few places in the world where you can enter a magma chamber.

Ever wondered what a volcano looks like on the inside? This unique volcano tour, takes you literally inside a dormant volcano, through the top crater and to the bottom of its magma chamber, once filled with steaming hot lava.

By putting up the necessary gear and equipment, we´ve created a tour that opens the door to a new world. And it really isn´t that complicated to experience it, only a moderate 45-50 min. hike to the crater and then the guts to descend 120 meters/400 ft to the bottom of the crater in an open cable lift.
