Inside view of the Crystal Ice Cave, Iceland
The Crystal Ice Cave is located in Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in Europe. The best time to visit the magnificent Crystal Ice Cave in all its glory is from November till the end of March/beginning of April, with a season lasting for about five months. The cave is not cold enough for the rest of the year, and it is not safe to enter because of the melting ice. Join this Crystal Ice Cave with a Super Jeep tour to have the most unforgettable experience!
Man-made Ice Tunnel in Iceland at Langjökull glacier
The man-made ice tunnel is located on the second-largest glacier in Iceland, Langjökull. It is unique not only because it is entirely made by human hand, but also because it can be visited all year round! This attraction is great for tourists who come to Iceland during the summer and want to experience the Icelandic glacier. Choose a tour package with snowmobiling or Northern Lights to enhance your experience!
Walking inside the Ice cave at Falljokull glacier in Iceland
Falljökull ice cave is located within the bigger Vatnajökull, Europe's biggest glacier (the same glacier where Crystal Ice Cave is). Although this ice cave is much smaller than Crystal Ice Cave, it is completely worthwhile seeing it. Unfortunately, this ice cave can only be visited during the winter season, from October to April.
