“Nowhere is climate change as starkly noticeable each day as much as anywhere than in Iceland. Formations of lava have been created new land but the same place is also witness to melting glaciers. The Katla ice cave is a reminder of these melting glaciers and the unusually beautiful vantage that it has created with the black lava soil in the foreground and the window opening into the faraway horizon with blue skies representing the rest of the planet was too much to not miss.”
