You will again like the ice cave be taken on a super jeep to reach the snowmobiles that are waiting at the top of the mountain hill where the Glacier begins.

Eyjafjallajökull, is a perfect example of a mix of fire and ice. It's a glacier, like a massive ice blanket that slowly moves downhill. But underneath that icy surface is a volcano, ready to rumble. Sometimes, this volcano wakes up and melts the ice, causing explosions of ash and steam. In 2010, it did just that and disrupted flights across Europe. So, Eyjafjallajökull is both a chill glacier and a hot-headed volcano, making it a unique and sometimes unpredictable natural wonder.
