Vatnshellir Cave is an 8,000-year-old lava tube located on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in Iceland, and is one of the most popular sites for caving tours. Formed during an eruption, this incredible natural formation is a testament to the power of volcanism. When molten rock was expelled from the volcano, the outer layers cooled and hardened while the lava beneath flowed away, leaving behind a hollow tube. Exploring Vatnshellir will give you a unique insight into the immense power of nature. The minerals of this lava can still be seen in Vatnshellir today. The rocks are vividly coloured, with reds representing deposits of iron, yellows representing sulphur, and greens representing copper.
Vatnshellir is 200 metres (656 feet) long, with a deepest point of 35 metres (114 feet).
