ICELAND: Icy streams from previous caves flow through the caves. THESE cold-as-ice explorers were-willing-to-sacrifice in order to capture these magnificent ice caves before they melt away. Stunning images have revealed ice-cool British tourists chilling out inside Europe’s largest glacier – despite being at risk of flooding. The spectacular collection of images show the explorers braving the freezing temperatures to climb, photograph and even abseil down the inside of the icy cliff sides. Another image shows one visitor on his knees appearing to pray next to a water fall of melted ice. Othe

ICELAND: Icy streams from previous caves flow through the caves. THESE cold-as-ice explorers were-willing-to-sacrifice in order to capture these magnificent ice caves before they melt away. Stunning images have revealed ice-cool British tourists chilling out inside Europe’s largest glacier – despite being at risk of flooding. The spectacular collection of images show the explorers braving the freezing temperatures to climb, photograph and even abseil down the inside of the icy cliff sides. Another image shows one visitor on his knees appearing to pray next to a water fall of melted ice. Other glistening shots show an adventurer trying to keep warm by a fire whose flames dance beautifully against the glossy roof. More shots show the caves sparkling like crystal with one ice formation appearing to resemble bubble wrap. In one picture, a brave tourist stands at the edge of a river flowing through the centre of the frosty caves. The incredible pictures were taken by local mountain guide, Einar Runar Sigurdsson (48) at the Vatnajokull Glacier in Iceland. Einar used a Fuji X-PRO2 camera to capture the spectacle, a brand he has used for three years. Einar Runar Sigurdsson / mediadrumworld.com
