Lofthellir

Leidarendi Cave This is considered the best example of lava tubes in Iceland and is actually two lava tubes that collapsed on each other. The walls are covered in mesmerizing colors, and the ground is full of lava flakes that will glimmer like diamonds in the winter cold.

We walked through it, learnt about the different lava formations and did a short 2 minute meditation session in the dark in the end. Overall absolutely beautiful and a must try in Iceland.

Due to ever-changing conditions and weather, you shouldn't visit an ice cave without a guide. That's true even if you've stumbled across one on your own solo adventure. However, there's nothing stopping you from booking a tour on a self-drive trip or adding a guided ice cave experience tour to your itinerary.
