Journey with us into the Raufarhólshellir lava tunnel, a truly unique experience and a great opportunity to witness the inner workings of a volcanic eruption. You will walk through the path of lava that flowed during the Leitahraun eruption, which occurred east of the Bláfjöll mountains about 5200 years ago. Every winter spectacular ice sculptures are formed inside the entrance of the cave making the experience of visiting the lava tunnel even more breathtaking.
