Going Inside the Thrihnukagigur Volcano near Reykjavik Iceland - July 5, 2012

They have opened this tour into the volcano, to the public for a few weeks this summer 2012 only: http://www.insidethevolcano.com/ They will then assess the environmental impact, etc & decide whether it will be put on again. My son Mark (MarkFreeman408 on YouTube), his friend Josh, and filmmakers Marcus & Kelly from Skylight Films (http://www.skylightfilms.ca) are here in Iceland on a holiday/filming/adventure trip. We felt privileged to be able to go inside 120 metres / 400' down into a 4,000 year old volcano magma chamber. This is the only place in the world that is offering, or has ever offered this. Previous to this year, only a limited number of scientists were allowed in & spent hours rappelling down by rope .. we went in by a lift, after a 1 hour hike across an ancient lava field. The original volcano exploration in 2011 was featured by National Geographic:
