• Jeans are not recommended for glacier activities. Once it gets wet, it takes a long time to dry, leaving you cold.
• Ice caves are a dynamic ever-changing natural phenomenon only accessible during wintertime when temperatures drop below zero. Each year, new unique caves are formed in different areas of the glacier. We visit a naturally formed ice cave during this tour. The photos on our website and social media are from this winter season, but the ice cave we visit might have changed its appearance due to the dynamic nature of these formations.
