LAVA SHOW - feel the heat!
The only live LAVA SHOW in the world
Getting up close and personal to real flowing lava is a bucket-list item for many. However, volcanoes are both dangerous and unpredictable and when they erupt you can rarely get anywhere close to red-hot lava. LAVA SHOW solves this problem and truly makes it possible to safely get up close and personal to real lava.
LAVA SHOW is the only show of its kind in the world. By superheating real lava and then pouring it into a showroom full of people, it is a chance to see, smell, hear, and feel the intense heat that radiates from the red-hot lava.
An incredible and one-of-a-kind experience
LAVA SHOW is an incredible, unforgettable experience. First, the live host welcomes the guest, explains what's about to happen, and goes over the security details. Then a short educational video takes you through a journey of Icelandic volcano history, focuses in on one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, Katla volcano (which happens to be the closest volcano to the town of Vík) and tells a compelling and personal story from the 1918 Katla eruption. At last, it's the highlight of the show, when the red-hot lava of 1100°C (2000°F) flows into the showroom. In an instant, the showroom heats up to a toasty temperature. In the safety of their seat just a short distance from the flowing lava, the audience watches as the lava flows into the room. Then, the lava host starts playing with the lava, manipulating it, while explaining what is happening. It truly is a sensational experience!
