LAVA Centre

Hvolsvöllur, Iceland

STATUS
Built
YEAR
2017
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
Located just 100 km east of Reykjavík at Hvolsvöllur, the new Lava Centre sits between five of Iceland's greatest volcanos. The main exhibition of the Centre reveals the epic forces of nature that shape our planet and created Iceland. In addition visitors get a crash-course in Volcanology while experiencing the extreme forces associated with volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

How was Iceland created? What causes the earth to shake? Which types of volcanoes are there and how can I "read the landscape"? These are just few of the questions people get answers to, and all through immersive experiences and tangible interaction.
