For a country known for being volcanically active, it only seems fitting to take a tour through a volcano while visiting Iceland.

To clarify, this is not the volcano (Eyjafjallajokull) responsible for numerous flight delays in March 2010. The Thrihnukagigur volcano has been dormant for over 4,000 years and the company behind the tour, 3H Travel, insists the tour is completely safe. Tours will begin this June, and continue through the “warmer” months of the Icelandic summer. Visitors access the volcano via cable lift and should plan ahead for a two-mile roundtrip hike to the volcano’s crater.

Photos of the Thrihnukagigur volcano, and more on the tours can be found at The Daily Mail.
