Come to the moon!

Ever dreamed of travelling to the moon? Well, you don’t need to go any further than Magma Geopark in Flekkefjord to get a small taste of it!

What is Magma Geopark?

In Magma Geopark, you enter an area that was once more than 20 kilometres beneath the Earth’s surface and covered by a mountain range as large as the Himalayas. At that time, the surrounding rocks around the molten magma were more than ten times hotter than boiling water. Under this extreme temperature and immense pressure, the magma began to cool and crystallise, forming large igneous crystals. One example is anorthosite, the same type of rock found on the surface of the Moon.

At Magma Geopark, you can therefore discover what it is like to walk on the Moon!
