LAVA Centre
We have another eruption at Reykjanes peninsula🌋🤓 It's very close to the last eruption site 📍 This goes along way confirming the local geologists theory that an era of eruptions is starting in the area. Our very own @huldi15 was on the scene just hours after the eruption started an took this beautiful picture. We're estimating a bigger eruption than the last one but still in a relatively safe place. At LAVA Centre we will be giving information about the eruption and how to get there but we ask people to read the guidelines at SafeTravel.is before heading to the eruption site.

Do you want to get a feel for what Lava Centre is Do you want to get a feel for what Lava Centre is all about? This video goes a little through of what is to be expected from a visit to Lava Centre. We have an exhibit that is interactive, and engages you dear visitor in making the commands, or basicly controlling what you observe. Then we have also a very cool film that shows footage from volcanic eruptions here in Iceland. And then we have an observation platform. If favouring the weather Gods, you can get lucky with seeing our neighbourhood volcanoes, that surround us in Hvolsvöllur, where you find Lava Centre. We also have some warm coffee to warm up to on chilled days and amazing staff, ready to greet you! ❤️🌋❤️
The second eruption in the Kröflueldar eruption s The second eruption in the Kröflueldar eruption started on this day in 1977. This was a very small eruption but a part of 24 volcanic events in the span of 9 years. #krafla #kröflueldar #iceland #volcano 📷Photo by Alberto Zanetti on Unsplash
Today in 1913 Hekla started erupting. The eruption Today in 1913 Hekla started erupting. The eruption was east of Hekla at Lambafit og Mundafell. The eruption lasted for about 3 weeks. #eruptioncalendar #hekla #volcano #iceland
What a fun and interesting day we had today! We go What a fun and interesting day we had today! We got a visit from a Danish girl-choir. To be more exact from the northern part of Jutland, Hjørring. More surprising, in one of the songs they actually sang in Icelandic, about a red knight (Rauði riddarinn). Brilliant performance one must say! 🤩 Not to sound cheesy but maybe then our red knight at Lava Centre is Eyjafjallajökull? 😏 Anyways, we want to thank this wonderful choir for dropping by with their pop up concert. We hope that they had a good time during their stay with us and that they left us with good memories and increased knowledge about Icelandic volcanoes and tectonic activity in return at our exhibit! 🌋❤️🌋 👏👏👏
🌋Mt. Hekla started erupting on March 29 1947 wi 🌋Mt. Hekla started erupting on March 29 1947 with an explosion in Hekla itself, more specifically at Heklugjá rift. 📷 We got the permission to use this amazing picture taken by the geologist Sigurður Þórarinsson (1912-1983). 🤯 The volcanic plume reached 30 km in height during the first few hours of the eruption. The wind was from the north and the tephra showered Fljótshlíð, the Westman Islands, Eyjafjöll and Hvolsvöllur village where LAVA Centre is now. 🇫🇮 The tephra reached Finland, 2900 km away, 51 hours after the beginning of the eruption. The eruption lasted for 13 months. After the first days a 10 cm thick layer of tephra covered Fljótshlíð, framland south-east from Hekla next to LAVA Centre. Two farms were abandoned after the eruption and a some livestock was killed due to gas poisoning. An Icelandic scientist, Steinthór Sigurdsson, was tragically killed while photographing the lava flow. He´s the last person to die in an eruption in Iceland. ✏️@rakel_lavaexplorer our in-house geologist. 📷 Sigurður Þórarinsson from the Arctic-Images database via @ragnarth , Magnús Tumi and Ari Trausti. #lavacentre #hekla #eruption #eruptioncalendar #MtHekla #volcano #volcanoes #iceland . . . #natgeoadventure #natgeo #natgeotravelpic #lonleyplanet #nature #travelgram #icelandair #bestoficeland #adventure #roadtrip #absoluteiceland #picoftheday #igersiceland #instatravel #visiticeland #wanderlust #inspiredbyiceland #ig_iceland

May I present, the majority off the people behind May I present, the majority off the people behind Lava Centre. Sometimes the staff of Lava needs to cool town a bit! Volcanoes tend to be a rather hot subject. What suits more the occasion than to be surrounded by glaciers! As Christmas approaches, and the first yule lads of Iceland start making their way into town one by one (they are 13 in total) then it is perhaps time to wish you all happy holidays! 🎄🎅🏼🎄
We've had a busy week at Hekla this week. There is We've had a busy week at Hekla this week. There is no indications of an eruption, just a stark remieder of her precense. The earthquakes are located just south east of the volcano in an are called Vatnafjöll. The area is clearly visible from LAVA's observation platform. Hekla is one of two most active volcanoes in Iceland. It last erupted in February 2000. #hekla #lavacentre #iceland #volcano
May I present, the infamous 1491 m high stratovolc May I present, the infamous 1491 m high stratovolcano Hekla! Known in the middle ages, literally as the gateway to hell to people in Europe. This photo is taken today, at the Lava Centre where it looks so picturesque, near innocent blanketed in clouds. Hekla is located in the southern region of Iceland. It is one of the islands most active volcanoes. In the holocene it has erupted numerous times. The first eruption during historical times was in 1104, which, then was an enourmous phreatic (explosive eruption). Creating considerable amount of tephra. Since then, it has at least erupted 20 times and it has actually two modes of erupting styles. Not only explosive but also effusive lava flows. The last time it erupted was in the year of 2000, in the month of February and then lasted for 10 days. Like all queens, Hekla does her thing on her own terms. She has a tendency to give our monitoring team of scientists very little time to response in advance when she decides to go boom! If lucky, only an hour of headstart. It will be interesting to see what she will be up to in the future, she is surely quite these days. #volcanoes #iceland #icelandtravel #lavacentre #hekla #geology

Þrihyrningur (The dark there peaks furthest to the left), Tindfjöll (The snowy peaks next to Þríhyrningur), The Mýrdalsjökull Glacier, covering the Katla Volcano, seen as a white line just above the green Hvolsfjall) and finally, the notorious Eyjafjallajökull volcano furthest to the right. LAVA Centre's pattern is very visible in the morning light.

Due to the installation of new exhibits and content from the new eruption we are in some delay. We are aiming for next week but the week after that might be more realistic. We will keep you updated on all our social media accounts. 🙏🌋♥️
