Highlights

  • Watch real molten lava heated to 1,100°C being poured live indoors, just meters away. It is the world’s only show where lava isn’t simulated, it’s real.
  • Feel the heat, hear the crackle, and see lava flow and cool as Lava Masters guide you through Iceland’s geology and the forces shaping the land of fire and ice.
  • Unlike Iceland’s vast lava fields formed thousands of years ago, this experience lets you witness volcanic power in real time—safely, up close, and year-round.
  • Upgrade to the premium experience for a welcome drink, balcony seats, access to the premium lounge, a backstage furnace tour, and a gift-wrapped piece of lava.
  • **Fun fact:** Around 30% of Iceland’s surface is made up of lava fields, formed by centuries of volcanic activity across the island.
