The Grapevine's take
The Volcano Express
With an eruption happening on the very same peninsula as Reykjavík sits on seemingly every other month for the past few years, Lava Express, located in Harpa concert hall, explains all of that from the comfort of an amusement ride seat. The VR flyover explains the geology, and the upsides (geothermal energy) and the downsides of sharing a peninsula with an active string of volcanoes.
