One of the highlights of a winter trip to Iceland is a visit to a natural ice cave. These ephemeral cavities, formed by the freezing of glacial meltwater, are only accessible between mid-November and early March, before melting in the heat.<\/p>\n\n

Every year, new and unique caves are created, offering shapes, tunnels and sculptures created by nature. The most famous are on the Vatnaj\u00f6kull and K\u00f6tluj\u00f6kull glacier tongues. Some cellars are blue, others black.<\/p>\n\n

For an unforgettable experience, it’s essential to book an expertly guided tour in advance.<\/p>\n\n
