Búri Cave

Brief description

BTH - 02/06/2024

The Búri (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈpuːrɪ]) cave is a lava tube, located in the Leitahraun [ˈleiːtaˌr̥œyːn] lava field. It was created by a subterranean lava flow, where the wall of the cave cooled quicker than the lava itself, which drained away. The largest point measures 32 feet (9.8 m) in height and width. At the end of the 0.65-mile (1.05 km) cave system, there is a 56-foot-deep (17 m) lava fall into the place where the lava escaped.
