The magnificent inner tunnels of Raufarhólshellir form one of the longest lava caves in Iceland. Descend underground into the cave with your expert guide, discovering how powerful volcanic activity carved the tunnel and keeping an eye out for the spectacular ice sculptures which form during winter months.
