Scientists to Create First Underground Magma Observatory by

The Krafla volcano is one of the most impressive natural wonders in Iceland, with its vast crater lake of blue water, plumes of smoke, and sulfurous bubbling of dirt and gases. A team of international experts is prepared to drill two kilometers (1.2 miles) into the core of the volcano in the country's northeast, a Jules Verne-style project whose goal is to create the first underground magma observatory in the world.
