Volcano Express

Take your students on an immersive journey through Iceland’s volcanic landscapes at Volcano Express, located inside Harpa Concert Hall in central Reykjavík. Using real footage captured during eruptions on the Reykjanes Peninsula between 2021 and 2024, the experience combines cinematic visuals, motion seating, heat and sound effects to demonstrate the forces that shape Iceland. 

Before the 10-minute cinematic flight, students explore a self-guided pre-show area featuring live eruption footage, short films, an interactive volcanic map and a live earthquake monitor. 

The experience provides an engaging introduction to Iceland’s volcanic activity, tectonic processes and the relationship between Iceland’s geology and its landscape.
