The dormant Þríhnúkagígur volcano (yeah, good luck trying to pronounce it!) is a unique natural phenomenon. By putting up the necessary gear and equipment, that opens the door to a new world.

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.

Following an eruption magma chambers usually collapse, but in 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.
