Iceland Adventure: Lava Cave Tour!
Our second full day tour saw us explore a cave within the depths of a lava field.
The laws of Volcanoes state; whenever a lava field forms there is always a lava cave formed within it.
Another law states; 1100 years after the lava cave has formed, a bunch of tourists must explore it.
Before we arrived at the lava cave we visited a geothermal water pumping station that supplied naturally heated water to two local towns. We then visited Barnafoss where a lava field has water pouring out the sides of it as it is covering an ancient river. This place is honestly amazing and I cant believe I hadn’t heard of it before our trip.
After Barnafoss we headed to the Lava Cave.
The lava cave has many surprising features; Icicles, chocolate looking walls, ceiling collapses, and past human habitation. As we reached our furthest point in the cave our guide told us to sit in a group and turn all our lights off. Here’s a pic of what we saw…
As Connor said in the video, it was darker than closing your eyes.
Hope you enjoy the video you gremlins.

I love caves buddy have you been to Laos yet?
thewanderingbroski
So do I! Yes I’ve been to Laos, are there good caves there? I went to the 3rd largest cave in the world in Vietnam – Hang En, heard of it?
A Hearty Nomad
Nice I did but did not go i think. I have been to many caves in the world. Was that one in halong bay?
thewanderingbroski
It’s pretty much in the middle of the country in Phong Nha National Park. What’s your top cave to recommend?
A Hearty Nomad
Ok, I have not been there. I need to go through my pics again. My favourite was in Laos for sure. Need to check the name again.then I let you know. Where are you going next?

Is it dangerous?
thewanderingbroski
No I guess not! I mean, there are small collapses sometimes but i think the chances are pretty remote, I don’t think anyone’s been hurt lol
maxymilano
