Inside the Volcano
The dormant Thrihnukagigur volcano (yeah, good luck trying to pronounce it!) is a unique natural phenomenon. 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. All you need is the willingness to finish an easy 40 minute hike (to get to the crater) and the guts to descend 120 meters/400 ft to the bottom of the crater in an open cable lift.

The country is one of the most active volcanic regions in the world, with eruptions occurring every 3-4 years on average. But why is Iceland so active? It´s mostly due to its location on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and North American Plates are moving apart – and therefore literally opening the earth’s crust. In the center of this Ridge sits Thrihnukagigur Volcano.
