Kerið Crater - Reykjavík - Lava Show
After checking out of the hotel, you head to Reykjavík with a stop en route at the Kerið Crater, northeast of Selfoss. The crater lies along the Golden Circle Route, it is a volcanic crater, approximately 270 meters long, 170 meters wide and 55 meters deep. Since it’s “only” about 3000 years old, it’s still one of the most recognizable volcanic craters in Iceland. At the bottom of it, there’s a small lake, varying from 7 up to 14 meters deep depending on rainfall and other factors. Although the walls of the crater are somewhat steep, there’s a path leading down to the lake. Most norable is the opaque and strikingly vivid aquamarine color of the lake due to minerals in the soil. Once in Reykjavík, your local guide will take you on a city tour, showing you history and cultural insights along with stops for a taste of some local goodies. In the evening there is a Lava Show, recreating a volcanic eruption by superheating real lava up to 1100°C (2000°F) and then pouring it into the showroom. This is the only live lava show in the world and has received multiple innovation awards and recognition for its educational and cultural value. With outstanding customer reviews, Lava Show is one of the highest rated attractions in Iceland and an utterly unique immersive experience unlike anything else in the world. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to get up close to real molten lava, see it flowing, hear it sizzling, and feel the incredible heat that emanates from it.
