The views on the way are breathtaking, you will feel like you are on the moon! Before entering the cave, our guide will provide you with all the safety gear needed before accessing the ice cave: please pay attention to your guide's safety instructions! Katla Ice Cave is truly unique, since it has layers of ash from 1918 eruption well enclosed in the ice.
