Víðgelmir Lava Cave in Iceland (Vidgelmir)
Víðgelmir (Vidgelmir or Vithgelmir) Lava Cave in Iceland. One of the largest lava caves in the world!
We explored this Víðgelmir (Vidgelmir or Vithgelmir) lava cave through a tour by Into The Glacier. From the Into The Glacier website: This Vidgelmir lava field was formed during a destructive eruption in the 10th century that originated under Langjökull. The Vidgelmir cave is mentioned in a written source dating back to 1398, and evidence of human presence dating back to the Viking Age (983-986) were discovered in 1993. The Vidgelmir Lava Cave tour is extremely family friendly, thanks to our all new signature walkway and feature lighting.

Amazing Cave Búri in Iceland
Þessi hellir er suður af Bláfjöllunum. Hann uppgötvaðist fyrst í Maí 2005 af Birni Hróbjartssyni. Þetta er talinn merkilegasti hellafundur á Íslandi í 1000 ár. Við fórum nokkur að skoða hellinn 4. mars 2012. Nokkuð erfitt var að finna opið niður í hellinn vegna snjóa en það tókst eftir smá basl. Hellirinn er 1 km langur, mjög fjölbreyttur, stór og endar á opi niður (til helvítis).
Víðgelmir - the largest lava cave in Iceland
Deep in the eerie landscape of Borgarfjörður is a biggest lava cave in Iceland called Víðgelmir, which roughly translates as “worm” or, better still, “serpent.” It stands as one of the best examples of lava caves in the world, formed around 900 AD when a major volcanic incident over 30 kilometres away sent rivers of lava pouring out over the region. Some of the rivers melted deep into the ground, hardening and cooling at the top but remaining warm and viscous beneath the surface, carving out the sprawling caves as they flowed.

CUEVA LEIDARENDI - GALERIA VOLCÁNICA - ISLANDIA- ICELAND
La cueva de Leidarendi, en Islandia, es un increíble tubo volcánico escondido en el interior de la tierra en la zona de las Montañas Azules, tan solo a 25 minutos de Reykjavik. Hay unas 200 cuevas tubulares repartidas por todo el país. Entre ellas destaca la galería de Leidarendi, con sus 700 metros. Resulta imposible para los principiantes ver la entrada. Sólo se puede entrar con un guía con experiencia A ratos se puede ir de pie, en otros momentos hay que agacharse, ir a gatas y a trozos estirado. Imprescindible casco. Sin él, ahora no lo podría contar porque me dí todo el rato cabezazos. Y los frontales con pilas bien cargadas para penetrar en las entrañas del planeta. Caminamos entre las piedras volcánicas negras, rosadas, de todos los colores, y hielo en forma de estalágmitas y estalactitas, y otras formaciones gélicas.
Estuvimos con las luces apagadas y en silencio durante unos minutos ,es increíble la música que se puede escuchar producida por las gotas de agua de las filtraciones. Una experiencia inolvidable
KLEIFARVATN – Geothermal Diving and snorkeling site in Iceland
Covering about eight square meters, Kleifarvatn is the largest lake on the Reykjanes peninsula and with a maximum depth of 90 meters is one of the deepest lakes in Iceland. Kleifarvatn is located about 30 km outside of Reykjavík and sits directly atop the mid-Atlantic ridge, the point at which the North American and Eurasian continental plates diverge. Kleifarvatn Lake is nestled within an impressive volcanic landscape, full of steep and amazingly colored hills and weird lava formations. Standing at the lake’s shore it is hard to believe that there is a populated city just 30 minutes away. This is the territory of trolls and elves.
Lake Kleifarvatn’s position on the geothermally active area along the diverging tectonic plates provides some unusual features. Underwater hot springs were recently discovered about 10 meters from the shore on one side of the lake. In the center of the hot springs is a large crater that emits large quantities of warm water and gases. As the air bubbles are pushed through the crater on the lake floor, pressure causes the surrounding rocks to vibrate slightly. Divers can usually feel these vibrations themselves, which is a special experience!
Kleifarvatn lake is also unusual because of its constantly rising and falling water levels despite the fact that the lake has no visible surface drainage, i.e. no connecting rivers. Changes in water level are due mostly to alterations in ground water level. For instance, the water level in the lake noticeably decreased in 2000 as water drained into the ground following earthquakes that created a fissure in the lake’s floor. Since then the water levels have risen again, but they must be checked frequently in order to gauge access to the dive site.
Kliefarvatn Lake is a popular fishing site during the summer season and is known for unusually large brown trout and char. A monster the size of a whale and shape of a serpent is also said to inhabit the lake. As the lake partially freezes over during winter, both diving and fishing activities are paused during the winter season.
