British newspaper The Guardian has published a series of pictures from the new ice cave in Langjökull glacier. Drilling through the ice to cre­ate the cave will be fin­ished at the end of Jan­u­ary and then work on light­ing and other de­tails will com­mence. The ice tun­nel will span 450 me­tres and it wil take 40- 60 min­utes to walk through it.

To get to the ice cave, Ice­Cave will bring peo­ple in a spe­cially equipped arc­tic truck and the whole jour­ney in­clud­ing the ice cave will cost 17,900 ISK.
