Our lava

The idea behind our extraordinary Lava Show is to recreate a volcanic eruption by superheating real lava up to a molten state of 1100°C (2000°F) and then pour it into a showroom full of people.


Once the lava enters the showroom, the temperature instantly rises and from the safety of their seats, our guests can clearly see, smell, hear and feel the intense heat from the lava.


Our lava originates from the 1918 Katla eruption. The source material is basaltic tephra, better known as the basaltic sand that covers the black sand beaches in the South Coast of Iceland.

As the molten lava flows into the showroom and over blocks of ice strategically placed in the lava slide, a rapid cooling process of the lava resulting in the formation of exquisite volcanic glass with striking obsidian-like appearance. 

 

All our home-made lava products, many of which are only available in our lava-inspired gift shop, are crafted from this century-old lava from Katla volcano, reborn through the fiery spectacle of Lava Show. How cool is that?
