About this activity

<h2 style="font-size:32px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb( 52 , 64 , 78 );margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">The only live LAVA SHOW in the world!</h2><p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb( 87 , 100 , 111 );margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">Are you fascinated with lava, volcanoes, and geology? Would you like to see red-hot lava up close in a safe environment? Are you embarking on a journey through Iceland, the land of fire and ice? If the answer is YES, you need to experience <strong>LAVA SHOW Vík</strong>. It is the first and only live lava show in the world and has become one of the must-see experiences in Iceland! Just look at the incredible reviews!</p><h3 style="font-size:28px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb( 52 , 64 , 78 );margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">An incredible and unique experience</h3><p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb( 87 , 100 , 111 );margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">In order to recreate a miniature volcano eruption, they superheat real lava from the 1918 Katla eruption and once molten, pour it into a showroom full of people. It is an incredible, unforgettable experience. In an instant, the showroom heats up to a toasty temperature. And as the audience sits safe in their seats yet only a few feet away from the flowing lava, it is mesmerizing to see, hear, smell and feel the incredible heat that radiates from it. It truly is a sensational experience!</p><p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb( 87 , 100 , 111 );margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">The show begins with a short welcome by the host and then a short educational video about Icelandic volcanism, the volcanoes close by - with special emphasis on Katla volcano - and how the surrounding volcanoes have affected the locals throughout the ages. They even give you a personal story and tell you the evacuation plan in case Katla were to erupt right there and then!</p><p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb( 87 , 100 , 111 );margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">Once the lava starts flowing into the showroom, the host literally starts PLAYING WITH THE LAVA! The host manipulates the lava with an iron rod, creating Pele&#39;s hair and tears, a miniature lava tunnel, a little lava cave and explains everything about what&#39;s happening as it goes. It is such an intimate, educational and entertaining experience and so different from everything else you&#39;ve ever experienced, that you can&#39;t help feel in awe. 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.</p>
