Ice caves and tunnels in Kötlujökull are dynamic glacier features that can change, close or reform as the ice moves and meltwater reshapes the glacier. They should only be entered with qualified guides using current route and safety assessments. Tour departure points, cave conditions and availability can vary by season and operator.
