The Grapevine's take
Raufarhólshellir Lava Tunnel
Formed by an eruption over 5,000 years ago, this lava tube is just a short drive out of Reykjavík and makes a great adventure for both the novice explorer and intrepid caver. The natural and marks formed inside the tunnel are stunning and surprising reminders that nature is an incredible artist.
