Kai Cenat makes history as world’s first streamer to go live inside a volcano

American streamer Kai Cenat has ventured where few content creators have gone before, becoming the world’s first streamer to go live from inside a volcano during a remarkable livestream from Iceland.

Cenat went live on Saturday, September 26, 2026, taking hundreds of fans along as he travelled into the depths of Þríhnúkagígur, a dormant volcano in Iceland whose enormous magma chamber sits about 400 feet beneath the surface.

The streamer began the adventure by showing viewers the vast landscape surrounding the volcano before turning his attention to the extraordinary destination that awaited him underground.

“So chat, look around and see here it is just a lot of empty land. But here is a volcano. And we are about to go inside the volcano,” Cenat told his viewers.

He then revealed that his production team was working to maintain the livestream connection even after he descended into the volcano, highlighting the unusual technical challenge that came with broadcasting from hundreds of feet underground.

“So for the production, we are going to try our best to make sure we have a connection down there when we go inside,” he said.

Cenat also gave his fans an idea of just how deep he was about to travel, telling them that the volcano was about 400 feet deep before making a striking comparison with one of the world’s most recognisable landmarks.

“The volcano is 400 feet deep. The Statue of Liberty can fit in the volcano. So we are going to go inside there, so guys wish me luck,” he said.

The streamer eventually made his way beneath the surface, descending into the huge volcanic chamber as his livestream continued to document the unusual experience.

The Þríhnúkagígur volcano is known for its unusual structure because, unlike most dormant volcanoes, its magma chamber was left largely empty after molten rock drained away thousands of years ago. Visitors can access the chamber using an open cable lift that descends approximately 120 metres, or 400 feet, from the crater.

Once inside, Cenat appeared captivated by the environment around him as he examined the rocks and volcanic material that surrounded him deep beneath the Icelandic landscape.

“Wow, see, this is the substance and stones of the volcano,” he said while looking around the chamber.

He then attempted to describe the ancient volcanic activity that created the enormous underground space, reflecting on how the landscape had been shaped by eruptions thousands of years ago.

“Years and years the volcano and the earth’s core got angry and it started to erupt, and so people never built houses around here because they never knew when it was going to blast,” he said.

Cenat also referenced the volcano’s ancient history before taking in the scale of the chamber around him.

“4,500 years ago. This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen,” he said.

The volcano last erupted roughly 4,500 years ago. The magma chamber left behind by the ancient eruption is large enough to accommodate the Statue of Liberty, a comparison also highlighted by descriptions of the attraction.

The descent itself is part of a specialised tourist experience at Þríhnúkagígur, with visitors first hiking across a lava field before reaching the crater and boarding the open lift into the chamber. The descent takes several minutes and drops visitors about 120 metres into the volcano.
