Description

Photograph a natural ice cave in Breidamerkurjokull Glacier, an outlet of Vatnajokull Glacier, on this small-group winter photography tour from Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon with a local guide.

The early start gives you the best chance of quieter conditions in the cave. From the meeting point, your guide drives the group about 30 minutes toward Breidamerkurjokull Glacier and tells you about the landscape and the forces that shape the ice.

Near the glacier, you set off on an easy walk, usually 20 to 25 minutes each way, depending on the conditions of the day. On some days, the walk may be shorter. Along the way, you can photograph the glacier area.

At the ice cave, you have about 1.5 to 2 hours for photography. The cave has deep blue ice, intricate patterns, and natural light filtering through the ice walls, and the area around the cave offers more photo opportunities.

Your guide is a local from Hofn Town with over 10 years of experience leading ice cave tours, and the small group means you get personal guidance on finding the best shots.

The tour suits amateur and professional photographers, as well as nature lovers who want to experience the glacier in a quieter way.

After your time in the cave, you walk back to the vehicle and drive back to Jokulsarlon, where the tour ends.
