Cape Hjorleifshofdi / Yoda Cave
What is it about this location in Iceland that causes Star Wars fans to take this side trip? A cool cave shaped like Yoda and the filming location for the opening scenes for Rogue One, that’s what!
Lava Center of Iceland
The Lava Center is a must see if you are on the Southern coast of Iceland. It was expertly assembled and is highly interactive. After going through the Lava Center you and your family will come out with a better understanding of the geology of the Earth as well as the forces that created Iceland and continue to shape it today. Allow about 90 minutes for your visit.
