Leiðarendi cave

A large lava tube close to Reykjavik

The Leiðarendi cave is located close to Reykjavik at about 30 min. driving distance. This 900 meters long lava tube offers unique rock formations such as the splash stalactites and drip stalagmites and the sharktooth stalactites that bear witness to the extreme forces of Nature at work inside the tube approximately two thousand years ago. Some climbing and crawling is required but Leiðarendi cave gives an easy access to this cool underworld of the Icelandic lavafield that surrounds the Reykjavik area.

Spooky: The name Leiðarendi means: "End of The Road" and refers to the skeletal remains of a lamb that was found inside the cave when it was first discovered about 20 years ago.
