The Cave Víðgemlir by Sigurjón J. Sigurðsson

About two kilometres from the farm Fljótstunga in Borgarfjörður in Iceland is the cave Víðgelmir. Its 1585 metres make it one of the longest caves in Iceland and in volume the second largest lava cave in the world. Viking age jewellery was found there recently. The cave is only to be visited with supervision and the farmers at Fljotstunga arrange tours with a experienced guide. The cave is partly rough and warm clothes, good walking boots and gloves are recommended. Please be aware that Víðgelmir is a preserved cave and that no one is allowed to enter it without permission and guidance. (14.08 2005)
