2 Best Sights in Reykjanes Peninsula and the South Coast (with the Golden Circle), Iceland

In the town of Hvolsvöllur, take an educational break and learn about how this volcanic island was shaped by countless eruptions. At the LAVA Centre you are introduced to the 32 volcanic systems in Iceland. There is an interactive scene that reveals the wonders of volcanic activity, a film about local volcanoes, and a balcony that offers you a panoramic view of four dormant volcanoes.

Vík's Lava Show brings Iceland's fiery volcanism to life, sans the chaos and danger, by pouring actual lava, heated to 1,100°C (2,000°F), right in front of your eyes. Feel the warmth as you delve into the science of volcanoes, tectonics, and Iceland's unique geology. Kids will particularly enjoy this performance, though it's still a treat for any age.
