Breiðamerkurjökull is an outlet glacier that is part of the Vatnajokull National Park in Iceland. The opening of the glacier is a major attraction to tourists where there is also access to the Breiðamerkurjökull glacial caves. With a guided tour, visitors can see inside of the cave. The most striking feature is the ice, which is an intense blue that can almost be disorienting to look at. This is because it is hidden from the sun.
The entrance to these caves is not far from the Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon although they are strictly prohibited from solo exploration as glaciers are incredibly unstable and dangerous.
