Víðgelmir lava cave gives visitors the unique chance to experience the inside of a lava tube with some of the strangest and most breathtaking stuctures created by Mother Nature.
Located in West Iceland in the Hallmundarhraun lava field, the cave typically sees around 4000 to 5000 visitors each year, however, a recent surge in popularity has created huge demand for the guided tours.
In fact, employee Bjarni H. Johansen says the demand has increased so much, the lava cave staff has found itself undermanned. Long stretches of the cave floor are very rough and can't be navigated without a guide. Access and guided tours are provided at nearby Fljótstunga farm.
Viðgelmir's popularity has increased due to the one-of-a-kind strucutures that have made the tourist destination one of the most comprehensive lava caves in the entire world.
