Inside the Volcano

It’s been over four decades ago since the first man set foot on the moon. But it’s only now that humans are offered the chance to see what a volcano looks like on the inside.

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.
