The Volcanology Tour

5 hours

Easy

Learn about Iceland's volcanoes and see fresh lava with a local geologist.

Have you ever wanted to learn the real science behind Iceland's headline-grabbing volcanoes? This is a new, unique experience to travel privately with a geoscientist, to ask all the questions you could ever have about Iceland, plate tectonics, and volcanoes, with maps, diagrams, and less-visited localities.

Travel on a tailor-made private tour with a local geologist and learn about volcanology. You will start the day eating famous molten baked goods, go over geological highlights, and plan our day. Next, see molten lava and fresh lava fields, discuss geological maps and diagrams in the field, and have a truly educational and adventurous experience next to volcanoes. This is a one-of-a-kind tour with a real-life scientist, and promises to be as adventurous and fun as it is educational and special.
