Iceland is home to multiple glaciers, which lend the country many fascinating landscape features, including towering icy cliffs, crevasses, snow-covered plains, glacier lagoons, and natural glacier ice caves.

The traditional ice cave season in Iceland runs from November to March when the weather has been consistently cold enough for the ice caves to become stable enough to visit and explore properly. Summer visitors are sometimes disappointed when they learn they cannot see such beautiful sights as the crystal ice cave in Vatnajokull.

However, there are two ice caves that can be explored all year round. The Ice Cave under the Katla Volcano, a Super Jeep tour that visits the mighty Myrdalsjokull glacier, strap on your crampons and step into this magical wonderland.

Secondly, the man-made ice cave at Langjökull Glacier. This spectacular alternative to natural glaciers gives summer visitors the next best thing to a winter experience in Iceland. Getting to the cave is an adventure in itself; you are transported high up in Langjökull Glacier, giving you fabulous views over the vast white highlands of the surrounding area.

This is probably the hardest one to reach of all the ice caves in Iceland that you can travel to. The ice cave is located in the northern part of Vatnajökull, which is part of the reason why it is so hard to reach. The interesting thing about this glacier ice cave of Iceland is that you can see a warm water river running through the cave. Due to the geothermal activity in this mountain range, you will be able to experience this unique phenomenon.
