Photography Tips

Definitely bring your widest lens and some external lighting of you want to create a shot like this one. Keep in mind that each year the glacier and therefore the ice cave retreats a hundred or so meters so every few months the interior of the cave will be different.

Travel Information

You will need to book a tour to get into the glacier and do it in a safe manner. If you have never been to this glacier I highly recommend this option and highly discourage going on your own. I booked my tour though one of the many tour companies located at the Jökulsárlón lagoon. While expensive they offer a great experience and transportation to the glacier and know where the best phot spots are.
