The Gateway to Iceland
An Ice cave in Vatnajökull ice cap, southern Iceland. Vatnajökull is the largest ice cap in Europe, around 3,100 km³ constanly changing it's formation. It´s pretty hard to photograph the real depth of the ice inside the caves, but looking into the walls is like an endless 3d depth of blue ice. There was also plenty of ash inside the cave, from the recent erupting volcano in Grímsvötn last spring. The guy at the Gateway happens to be me.

This is awesome. The first thing I saw was the face in the bottom right. It's pretty wild how many features it has.
Thanks for your words. I'll be traveling to the east part of Vatnajökull ice cap in few days and hope to visit a great ice cave there, which is not possible to visit in the summer because of the risk of collapsing or falling icebergs, but in the winter it's hard to travel up to the highlands.

Brilliant Skarpi. I think it made all the difference here that I pressed the shutter release.
