Message from Management
The Lava show is an attraction in Reykjavik's Grandi Area. Here, founders Ragnhildur and Júlíus recreate the unpredictable and dangerous phenomenon of a volcanic eruption before your very eyes. To do this, they superheat real lava to 1,100°C (2,000°F), then pour it into the showroom and handle it. The show is absolutely fascinating. This stimulating show for all ages will enrich your knowledge while having fun. In fact, the Lava show is one of the highest-rated attractions in the country. Tickets can be purchased online. A must-see address for a unique immersive experience!
Members' reviews on LAVA SHOW
We all came for seeing a lava, but his explanation really brought it to life.
Man spürt die Hitze des flüssigen Gesteins und die Moderatorin zeigt verschiedene Experimente was alles passieren kann (Eis, Blasen, Fäden ziehen, Abkühlung, Verglasung) und trotzdem ist alles sicher.
Anmerkung: nichts für zu kleine Kinder oder Menschen mit sehr empfindlicher Lunge, es ist live und man sitzt in 3 Reihen so ca 3m entfernt. Man darf beliebig Fotos und Video machen, ohne Blitz, was aber selbst mit Smartphone sehr eindrucksvoll ist.
