Description
Explore a natural blue ice cave beneath Vatnajokull Glacier on this small-group tour from Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon in Southeast Iceland. The tour suits anyone who is steady on their feet on uneven, icy terrain.
The tour begins when you meet your guide and group at the parking area of Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. It's worth arriving a few hours early or setting aside a few hours afterward to explore the area.
Here, you can watch icebergs that have broken off the glacier tongue float across the country's deepest lake, Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, and see them where they wash up on the shore at nearby Diamond Beach.
Once your group is gathered, you board a super jeep that drives you across the landscape of Vatnajokull National Park toward the glacier. Vatnajokull is the largest glacier in Europe.
Your guide gives you a helmet and, when needed, micro spikes for the slippery ground before a short walk to the ice cave.
Inside, you see intense shades of blue, smooth textures, and unusual ice formations. You usually have about 45 to 55 minutes in and around the cave to explore and take photos.
Your guide tells you how the caves form and about the history and future of the glaciers, and answers any questions you have.
After exploring the ice cave, you return to the super jeep and are driven back to Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon.
