at the agreed meeting point in the southern part of skaftafell National Park. Two Chinese, two Canadians and an Austrian went on tour with us. In the replacement jeep (the actual jeep &#8220;<em>won&#8217;t make it \u2013 too much snow<\/em>&#8220;) we drove 20 km along a normal road, until it suddenly went off-road across the snow-covered landscape of Iceland. At the latest here, every normal car would have failed miserably because of the many snow. After about 4 km we stopped in front of a small dark cave entrance, to which we (equipped with helmet and headlamp) had to stagger through deep snow.<\/p>\n<div id=\"jig1\"

The ice caves in Iceland can only be visited in the winter months from the beginning of November to the end of March. In summer, running meltwater forms caves under the glacier. The deep blue colour of the ice is due, among other things, to the incredible pressure that weighs on the ice. <\/p>\n<p>As the caves in the ice change from year to year, local guides from the area are looking for new caves every autumn. The (not quite cheap) tickets for access to the ice caves should be secured in good time, as the capacity is very limited and the demand is quite high. We had already secured our tickets at the beginning of October through <a href=\"http:\/\/localguide.is\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" class=\"extern matomo_link wpel-icon-right\">Local Guide of Vatnaj\u00f6kull,<span class=\"wpel-icon wpel-image wpel-icon-3\"><\/span><\/a> when the sale of the tours for this year was just starting \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-blue-glacier-caves-of-vatnajokull\"><\/span>The blue glacier caves of Vatnaj\u00f6kull<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Vatnaj\u00f6kull (&#8220;Water Glacier&#8221;) is the largest glacier in Iceland and also the largest glacier in Europe outside the polar region. Its ice volume is estimated at over 3,000 km3 and has a thickness of up to 900 meters. In 2008, the area of the glacier was incorporated into the newly founded Vatnaj\u00f6kull National Park, which has since become the largest national park in Europe. In order to get into the actual part of the ice cave, we had to bend at the beginning and later even crawl over the ice and the snow on all fours \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>What awaited us was just fascinating. The ice that arched over us shone in a variety of shades of blue \u2013 as in the pictures we had seen beforehand. The individual caves went deeper and deeper into the mountain massif and there were always ceiling breakthroughs. Some ice caves were really high, while others were very narrow.<\/p>\n<div id=\"jig2\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-49f0ab7d8733a26a37972bfbda9a1b10 jig-preset-global jig-source-wp-gallery\"><div

We were looking for a cheap flight to the USA or directly to the Caribbean and found a really good offer from Icelandair from Frankfurt via Reykjavik to Boston and Orlando. Since stopovers at Icelandair are mostly without extra charge, we thought, ok, why not discover Iceland for a few days at take off and make three days out of the actual three hours stopover? Especially in winter this island should have its very special charm. So we had done some research and found the idea good.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bilder\/sonstige\/route-island.jpg\" alt=\"Iceland\" width=\"1200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/>\r\n\r\nDay 1 <i  class=\"x-icon x-icon-arrow-circle-right\" data-x-icon-s=\"&#xf0a9;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/en\/iceland\/reykjavik-tourist-attractions-northern-lights\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\" class=\"noicon\">Reykjavik \u2013 Tourist Attractions & the beautiful Northern Lights (Iceland)<\/a><br>\r\nDay 2 <i  class=\"x-icon x-icon-arrow-circle-right\" data-x-icon-s=\"&#xf0a9;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/en\/iceland\/golden-circle-route-thingvellir-waterfalls-geyser-strokkur\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\" class=\"noicon\">Golden Circle Route \u2013 Thingvellir, Waterfalls & Geyser Strokkur (Iceland)<\/a><br>\r\nDay 3 <i  class=\"x-icon x-icon-arrow-circle-right\" data-x-icon-s=\"&#xf0a9;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/en\/iceland\/skaftafell-national-park-blue-ice-caves-of-vatnajoekull\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\" class=\"noicon\">Skaftafell National Park \u2013 The blue ice caves of Vatnaj\u00f6kull (Iceland)<\/a><br>\r\nDay 4 <i  class=\"x-icon x-icon-arrow-circle-right\" data-x-icon-s=\"&#xf0a9;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/en\/iceland\/blue-lagoon-famous-thermal-bath-reykjavik\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\" class=\"noicon\">The Blue Lagoon \u2013 The famous thermal bath at Reykjavik (Iceland)<\/a><br>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Already at 6.30 o&#8217;clock today we set off on the 180 km long way to the ice caves of Vatnaj\u00f6kull in the Skaftafell National Park.
