Eyjafjallajokull volcano center to open for tourists

A tourism center with artifacts, exhibits, films and photographs from last year’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano is set to open on the first anniversary of the eruption.

The center will be situated next to Highway 1 in the shadow of Eyjafjallajokull at a place called Thorvaldseyri and is set to open on 14th April.


The volcano center is being set up in an old machine room. It has been painted black, grey and red inside, like the volcano. The floor is made from volcanic ash and cement, adorned with a stone “rug” from the Katla volcano, which was made in the town of Vik.The center is heated with water from the volcano and the farm even produces its own electricity.
