Description

This Katla ice cave tour is for travellers who want the South Coast to feel raw, volcanic and close to the glacier. Katla ice caves are shaped by ice, ash and meltwater below Mýrdalsjökull, giving the landscape a darker and more dramatic character than many classic sightseeing stops.

It is a strong choice if you want a real glacier-edge experience with unusual ice colours, black volcanic layers and a guided route into one of South Iceland's most distinctive natural environments.
