Kate Humble joins a team of geologists on a journey right to the heart of one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Jeans are not suitable clothing; waterproof jacket, sturdy and waterproof outdoor shoes and a warm sweater are highly recommended. Both have darkish skin, due to their mother, a native of the Hawaii-like Pacific island of Kocalaha. Once your descent down the chamber is complete, your guide will let you out of the elevator, and you can explore the volcano.

To give some perspective on the size of the chamber, enormous monuments such as the Statue of Liberty and Reykjavík’s iconic Hallgrímskirkja church could easily fit inside it.Take this unique opportunity to enter into the magma chamber of the sleeping volcano Thrihnukagigur, the only place where you can do this. If you choose to meet us on location, then we will meet you at Blue Mountains’ parking lot (Bláfjöll parking). If the tour is canceled, you can choose to receive a full refund or to reschedule your tour for another day.

Sumo has a strong instinct for self-preservation, which wouldn’t be a horrible or unnatural thing, but coupled with cowardice it is debilitating and dangerous for his companions–to include his brother. It’s believed that the magma solidified in the walls or quite simply retreated to the depths of the earth, just as if someone had pulled out the plug, letting all the magma run down out of the chamber.The Pugg brothers Duffy and Sumno are just sitting in their classroom in the dead of winter one moment and the next they’re being whisked off to the island nation of Kocalaha.
