Vatnajökull Ice Caves

Vatnajökull is Europe’s largest glacier, covering more than 8% of Iceland. Vatnajökull is classified as an ice cap glacier. So much water is currently stored in Vatnajökull that even Olfusa, the river with the greatest flow in Iceland, would need over 200 years to carry it all to sea. Ice caves form during the winter months in the outlet glaciers of Vatnajökull. They are constantly changing, providing a unique experience every visit.
