Een ongelooflijke en unieke ervaring

Om een miniatuur vulkaanuitbarsting na te bootsen, oververhitten ze echte lava van de Katla-uitbarsting van 1918 en gieten ze, eenmaal gesmolten, in een showroom vol mensen. Het is een ongelooflijke, onvergetelijke ervaring. In een oogwenk warmt de showroom op tot een toastige temperatuur. En omdat het publiek veilig op hun stoel zit en toch maar een paar meter verwijderd is van de stromende lava, is het fascinerend om de ongelooflijke hitte die eruit straalt te zien, horen, ruiken en voelen. Het is echt een sensationele ervaring!

De show begint met een korte ontvangst door de gastheer en vervolgens een korte educatieve video over IJslands vulkanisme, de vulkanen dichtbij -w.z. met speciale nadruk op de grootste vulkaanuitbarstingen in de IJslandse geschiedenis en de vulkanische gevaren rond het hoofdstedelijk gebied

Once the lava starts flowing into the showroom, the host literally starts PLAYING WITH THE LAVA! It is an entertaining, unique, and educational experience, completely different from everything else you've ever experienced. And after the show, you truly see the rest of Iceland with different eyes and a newfound appreciation for nature. It really is a must see experience.

Explore Iceland with our expert partners!

Lava Show:

We always start our shows on time. Therefore, we strongly suggest that people to get there at least 15 minutes before the show starts, get their bearings, take in the beautiful lava-related interior, check out our gift shop, and perhaps buy a drink before the show.

It gets HOT in the showroom when the lava pours in so people are advised to remove some layers of clothing before the show starts. The show is a safe experience and the heat should not be an issue but pregnant women, people with infants, and people with cardiovascular diseases are recommended to sit in the back and/or close to the exits just to be on the safe side.

Iedereen wordt geadviseerd om tijdens de show te allen tijde zijn veiligheidsbril aan te houden als er lava in de showroom staat, vooral als deze afkoelt en stolt.
