Book NowStory & Folklore
Lava Show is a uniquely Icelandic experience located in the village of Vík á Mýrdal, near the black sand beaches of the South Coast. The 35-minute presentation begins with storytelling about Icelandic volcanoes before the main event — genuine molten rock poured down a channel within arm's reach of the audience. Safety glasses are provided as the lava glows red-orange and crackles as it cools. The guide explains volcanic chemistry, minerals and the process of lava formation. Children are wide-eyed; adults are equally stunned. One of the most memorable 45 minutes you can spend in Iceland.
