Beyond Saturday’s lava demonstrations, the Lava Show team and our very own Volcano Man will also be present at many of the other Taste of Iceland events throughout the festival weekend, giving guests additional opportunities to meet the faces behind one of Iceland's most celebrated experiences.

Using specially modified furnaces powered by green energy, the company safely melts real lava and pours it in front of live audiences. More than 200,000 visitors from 163 countries experienced Lava Show in Iceland in 2024 alone, making it one of the nation’s most in-demand attractions.
