- It gets HOT in the showroom when the lava pours in so people are advised to remove some layers of clothing before the show starts. The show is a safe experience and the heat should not be an issue but pregnant women, people with infants, and people with cardiovascular diseases are recommended to sit in the back and/or close to the exits just to be on the safe side.
- Everyone is advised to to keep their safety goggles on at all times during the show when there is lava in the showroom - also and especially when it is cooling down and solidifying.

Lava Show ReykjavikTo recreate a miniature volcano eruption, authentic lava from the 1918 Katla eruption is intensely heated and then poured into a room filled with spectators, resulting in an extraordinary and unforgettable event. Instantly, the room becomes delightfully warm, providing an astonishing experience as the audience, safely seated only a few feet from the flowing lava, witnesses, hears, smells, and feels the remarkable heat it emits. It is a genuinely sensational encounter.
The show commences with a brief introduction from the host, followed by an educational video covering Icelandic volcanism, nearby volcanoes, notably the largest eruptions in Icelandic history, and the volcanic hazards in the capital area. It’s worth a visit, especially if you want to learn about the recent eruptions in the Reykjanes Peninsula, often referred to as ‘the eruptions in Reykjavik’s backyard’ by locals.
As the lava begins its journey into the room, the host actively engages with it, creating an entertaining, one-of-a-kind, and educational experience that stands apart from anything else. After the show, you’ll gain a fresh perspective on the rest of Iceland, cultivating a newfound appreciation for nature. It undeniably qualifies as a must-see experience.
