Thrihnukagigur Volcano is 20
miles from Iceland’s capital Reykjavic, and as it is dormant, it is currently
the only place on the planet where it is safe to explore the huge magma
chamber. And huge it most certainly is, around the size of three full size
basketball courts and you could fit the Statue of Liberty in there!
To enter, visitors descend
through the top crater, all the way down to the magma chamber and are to be
accompanied by experienced and special trained guides. A cable lift will carry
participants up and down the chamber.
This has to be an amazing
opportunity for volcanologists or anyone with an interest in the magnificent
and natural wonders of the world.
The tour will run from 15th
May – 10th September, with several confirmed departures each day.
