I just came back from Iceland and realized that the cost of living in Iceland is not bad.

Best time to travel Winter (November to March): This is the best time to visit the Blue Ice Cave, when the ice is most stable and easy to enter. January to February: The blue color of the ice cave is the brightest at this time, which is breathtaking. However, the weather is cold, so you must take good warm-keeping measures. Introduction to the main blue ice caves Western Ice Cave: Located in Vatnajökull National Park, it is famous for its bright blue hue and crystal clear ice walls, like a shining blue diamond✨. Eastern Ice Cave: Also located in Vatnajökull National Park, it is one of the largest blue ice caves discovered in recent years. It is large in scale, with rare internal textures, and is super spectacular. Vatnajökull Crystal Blue Ice Cave: It was newly discovered in October 2019. There is an opening on the top of the cave, and light shines in. The top of the cave is azure blue with strange textures, as if you are in the world of Frozen❄️✨. Itinerary From Reykjavik: If you are departing from Reykjavik, you can join a tour group 🚌, which usually goes to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon first, and then takes a super jeep to the Blue Ice Cave. Meet up at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon: From the glacier lagoon parking lot, take a super jeep through the rugged natural landscape of Vatnajökull National Park. It takes about 30 minutes to reach the glacier. Then take a short glacier hike to the Blue Ice Cave. The scenery along the way is super beautiful📷. Precautions Safety first: You must follow a professional guide or join a tour group when exploring the blue ice cave. Never go alone⚠️, safety is the most important thing! Wear warm and waterproof clothes: It is recommended to wear warm and waterproof clothes and professional outdoor hiking boots to better resist the cold👢. Book in advance: The Blue Ice Cave is a very popular attraction in Iceland in winter. It is recommended to book a tour group in advance, otherwise you may miss it😭. Other suggestions Photography Tips: The light in the blue ice cave varies greatly. It is recommended to use a tripod and slow shutter speed to capture the details and colors in the ice cave and take beautiful photos. Experience glacier hiking: If time permits, you can join a tour that includes glacier hiking to deeply experience the beauty of Iceland's glaciers. This will be an unforgettable experience🤗.
