Why it's on Icebreaker
Vatnajökull Ice Caves
Every summer, meltwater drills new tunnels through Breiðamerkurjökull, the tongue of Vatnajökull that ends in Jökulsárlón, and every winter people queue up to stand inside them. The caves shift and reshape from year to year, so guides go wherever this season's good one is. You meet at Jökulsárlón, get hauled over rock and slush in an oversized super jeep for half an hour or more, then walk the rest in helmet and crampons. The payoff is a rippled blue ceiling, black ash lines and, with luck, quiet, though you will probably share it with another group. Local Guide of Vatnajökull, Ice Explorers, Glacier Trips and Troll Expeditions run three-to-four-hour tours. The national park closes the caves from May through September, and conditions are assessed daily.
