Ice Cave II - a photo on Flickriver

Ice Cave II

Glacial ice caves form when rain and melt water carve a passage through the glacier to its mouth, usually in the summer months. In winter the caves formed by the water flow freeze and are safe to enter. Because the ice is so compacted, with almost no air bubbles, only blue light gets through, hence the gorgeous colours of the ice. At the back of the cave, where the ice was thickest, everything had an amazing blue colour cast.

This cave is in the Breiðamerkurjökul outlet glacier which is part of Vatnajokull (the largest ice cap in Europe) which covers 8% of Iceland.

I have more images of Iceland in winter and you can also take a look at all my Iceland images.
