Only three months before we were there the ice reached the ground. Now a cave of ice had been formed.
Can you imagine there was an entrance under the glacier we could walk into. Our guide said it was dangerous to go in and it was at our own risk. He would not go in.
Well some of us did. It was exciting but I did not have the feeling the glacier would collapse at that moment. I knew what I was doing but I wanted to experience this. I would never get the chance to take photos from under a glacier again. It was fascinating and thrilling. The further we went the darker it was. At some spots the ice was really thin and we could see some beautiful blue light shining through. It was fantastic realizing there was such a mass of ice above us. And I muss confess I was also happy to leave the glacier safely. I let the pictures speak for themselves.

What an impressive journey you do provide tonight. Felt indeed as if taken it with you - great photography !
Please have you all a nice Tuesday.
p.s.: upon your comment, spending a few days home, in Norderstedt, Germany made it a "world" still able to "tear me apart", half there, half in Athens, from where the following pictures will again be. A joy it would be to see you soon again.
Jossie: You are an adventurer. The shots are just beautiful.

great pictures of what must have been a great trip! one of my old professors is trying to get us to go to Iceland with him..wish we could!
I've gone into a couple ice caves before, but yeah, i was a little nervous about it! Glaciers are so impressive, it's a shame they are all disappearing :(
Wat een geweldige serie van die gletsjer.
Vooral die wonderlijk blauwe kleuren zijn prachtig.
Incredibly beautiful, and most of us will never have the chance to see this in person.
Were you anywhere near the location of the volcano that's erupting now?
Amazing shots. I love the colour of the ice
