The Dimmuborgir area is composed of various volcanic caves and rock formations, reminiscent of an ancient collapsed citadel (hence the name). The dramatic structures are one of Iceland's most popular natural tourist attractions. [2]
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.

SNRC purchased Black Chasm Cavern in 1996 and began offering 5 hour expedition trips, including rappelling, rafting, climbing, and crawling through the wild areas of the cave. These trips ran for four summers before damage to the delicate areas of the cave was deemed too steep a price to continue offering tours through the wild 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.
The cave lies within the Monumento Natural del Malpaís de La Corona, a protected area of the Canary Islands. [1] The cave was created around 3,000 years ago by lava flows erupting from the nearby volcano Monte Corona, flowing across the Malpaís de la Corona toward the sea. As in all lava tubes, the top of a lava stream cooled and developed a ...
It was discovered in 1974 by cave explorer Árni B. Stefánsson, and opened for tourism in 2012. It is the only volcano in the world where visitors can take an elevator and safely descend into the magma chamber. The magma that would filled the chamber drained away, revealing the void beneath the surface. [4]
