Brennisteinsfjöll, Iceland
Think you’ve explored every inch of the world? You’ve only scratched the surface. We get under the earth’s skin in the land of ice and fire. It starts with a hike or a helicopter ride up to the crater of the incredible Þríhnjúkagígur volcano. Here, you’ll need to stop for a moment to catch your breath because the surrounding views are nothing if not breathtaking. Once you’re ready, a cable lift will lower you into the 213 meter-deep magma chamber. The dazzling colors of this unique geographical marvel cannot be captured in a photograph or even a canvas – you just have to see them for yourself before returning to the surface for a bowl of traditional Icelandic soup or a cup of hot chocolate.
