A lava cave is any cave formed in volcanic rock, though it typically means caves formed by volcanic processes, which are more properly termed volcanic caves. Sea caves , and other sorts of erosional and crevice caves, may be formed in volcanic rocks, but through non-volcanic processes and usually long after the volcanic rock was emplaced.

Grotta del Gelo ("Cave of Frost") is a volcanic cave of Mount Etna which is known for the presence of a large amount of ice. The cave formed in 1614–1624 during a large eruption of the volcano, inside one of the lava flows produced during that eruption. Within the two subsequent decades, ice grew and accumulated in the cave.

Cueva del Viento ("Wind Cave") is the largest lava tube system in Europe, [1] and the sixth largest in the world, behind a series of lava tubes in Hawaii. [2] It is also considered the most complex volcanic tube in the world, due to its morphology of several levels and passages. [3] It was created by lava flows from Pico Viejo, next to Mount Teide.
