For starters, the incredible ice caves of Iceland make for an exciting exploration anyone can enjoy. These ice caves, often referred to as crystal caves, can be found in various sites across the region and at various glaciers, including Vatnajokull and Langjokull. These giant structures are a naturally occurring phenomenon that host rare opportunities to walk through crystal blue tunnels, an opportunity scarcely available on Earth. For those who want to take advantage of this chance of a lifetime, guided tours are always available to show the most exciting features and routes to take in the beauty of the landscape. Some tours may last two to five days, and for those lucky enough, northern lights may be visible at night time.
