When Thrihnukagigur last erupted 4,500 years ago, it left behind a remarkable feature: a 212m-deep empty magma chamber that you can be lowered into using an open ‘volcano lift’ carrying up to eight people. It’s a surreal – and surprisingly colourful – journey to the centre of the earth.
Just a 30 mins drive from Reykjavik, this huge volcanic magma chamber is reached on a short hike across lava fields of around 30-40 minutes, at which point you’ll receive a safety briefing, be kitted up in safety helmet and harness, before starting the descent with your guide.
Descend 120m/400ft through the top crater and down to the ground floor of the magma chamber via an open elevator system. Around 40-45 minutes is spent inside the volcano itself.
Soft or hard-boiled? If you love eggs for breakfast, book a stay at the quirky Frost and Fire hotel where staff cook your eggs over a hotspring.
In the company of knowledgeable, specially trained guides throughout, also included is a taste of traditional Icelandic meat soup, and a selection of hot drinks.
Transfers are available from Reykjavik, or alternatively for those with their own vehicle, it is possible to meet in the car park close to the volcano. This is a fantastic way of exploring Iceland’s colourful and impressive geology, up close!
Combine stylish accommodation with great chances to see the aurora and explore at leisure.
