Explore different formations, textures and colors of lava rock. On this tour you will learn about the geology of Iceland, its volcanoes and lava tubes. The cave is right next to Snæfellsjökull, the stratovolcano that was made famous by Jules Verne and his story "A Journey to the Center of the Earth".
