Vatnajökull Ice Cave, Iceland
Photograph by Skarphéðinn Þráinsson
The jewel-like interior of an ice cave beckons adventurers on Iceland's Vatnajökull glacier. The glacier was the site of a volcanic eruption in November 1996 that melted billions of gallons of ice and triggered a flood that lasted two days. The floodplain was littered with huge blocks of ice.
