Nestled in the charming village of Vík along Iceland’s South Coast, the Lava Show offers an unparalleled experience with the volcanic forces that have sculpted this region. Conveniently situated a stone's throw away from the renowned Black Sand Beach and within proximity to numerous local attractions, it serves as an ideal pit stop for those travellers traversing the coastline.
The showroom houses genuine lava from the formidable Katla volcanic system, heated to the extreme temperature of 1.100°C and poured into the room. This spectacle presents a mesmerising fusion of heat, colour, and sound. Under the guidance of knowledgeable Lava Masters, you'll gain insights into the dramatic eruptions of nearby Katla and Eyjafjallajökull and their role in shaping Iceland’s distinctive landscapes.
This immersive experience is perfectly suited for anyone keen on understanding Iceland’s geology in an engaging and interactive manner. Both educational and entertaining, the Lava Show is the only place globally where one can safely witness flowing lava indoors, making it an essential activity in Vík, regardless of the weather conditions. Additionally, there's a delightful gift shop on-site featuring a variety of lava-inspired items. Many of these are handmade and exclusive to the Lava Show, including handcrafted jewellery incorporating lava from the show, apparel, artwork, books, and more.
