Just a stone’s throw from Reykjavik, the Thrihnukagagur volcano houses one of the world’s most unusual lifts: it takes you two hundred metres underground, where you can marvel at the site’s spectacular magma chamber. No seismic activity has been recorded here for four thousand years. The rocks are covered with different colours ranging from ochre to fuchsia, offering a chromatic spectacle worthy of Klimt. On your journey through this large cavity, you can observe the traces of erosion lit up by projectors and contemplate the dizzying panorama offered by the only place on earth to showcase this kind of geological phenomenon.
