Take this unique opportunity and visit the depths of the Thrihnukagigur volcano (good luck trying to pronounce it!) the only place on earth where you can enter a volcano's magma chamber.
Take this unique opportunity to enter into the magma chamber of the sleeping volcano Thrihnukagigur, the only place where you can do this. The sleeping volcano is a unique natural phenomenon and this experience will open your eyes to a whole new world. This journey is a fascinating one, as after 45-50 minutes (3 km) hike up to the top of the crater you are lowered down to the bottom of it in an open cable lift.
The beauty of the crater comes from its astonishing array of colours, and is huge size: and the circumference is equal to that of 3 basketball courts and the crater would be able to house the Statue of Liberty comfortably!
During the excursion knowledgeable and experienced guides are at your side to ensure your safety.
