Icelandic Lava Show in Reykjavík - Admission Tickets

The show takes place in a relatively small dark room with a furnace in the center. It starts with a ray of bright orange light illuminating the room. Soon you get to see how melting lava flows from a small ice hole, bubbling and sizzling, generating intense heat, and forming interesting forms as it cools down. It's the best and safest way to witness the power and danger of volcanic eruption. The person showing you all of this will also take a moment to share how they produce the lava and explain how this natural process works. This place is worth visiting, as it makes such rare and precarious events easily and safely accessible.

Júlíus and Ragnhildur not only created a family together but also founded The Icelandic Lava Show. Since their days back in college, they already knew they would want to start a company together. In 2010, after they saw the volcano eruption at Fimmvörðuháls and were incredibly touched by the experience, they came up with a business idea. Fascinated by the confrontation of fire and ice and the aftermath of the two's collision, they devised a plan for how others could enjoy the scene, too, without putting themselves in danger. This is how the show, where people witness the eruption, the heat that it disperses, and the sounds it generates, was created.
