By their very definition, ice caves in Iceland, as with those anywhere else in the world, are constantly in a state of flux. During the warmer months, meltwater finds its way into cracks and crevasses in the ice, carving out tunnels and cavernous spaces within the main body of the glacier. As the seasons advance and the temperatures fall, the ice stabilises, hardening into ice caves and other glacial landforms.
