Description

© S. Eisenrauch / TouriSpo How to find caves in Iceland? If a sheep disappears on the pasture, it may have fallen through a hole in the ground ;-)

The Lava Tunnel is one of the longest and best explored lava tubes in Iceland. It is located about 30 minutes from Reykjavík and can be visited all year round. With appr. 1.4 km in length, 30 m in width and a height of 10 m, the tunnel is thousands of years old. During a guided tour through the lava tunnel you will learn how the cave was formed by a volcanic eruption over 5,000 years ago and how the lava made its way through the plain in southwest Iceland.
