Ice Caves tour in October in Iceland

score:10

Accepted answer

The ice cave season in Iceland is short, from mid-November to about the middle of March (and is adjustable according to conditions). Outside of that season, it can be dangerous to go into the caves because they can, and do, collapse.

You should never, repeat never, go on your own; always go with a guide. Walking on glaciers is dangerous and, unless you know them well, it’s extremely risky. Glaciers move and shift, there are weaknesses, crevasses.

Mind you, no one will stop you; there are no restrictions about entering the ice field or caves. But, outside of high winter, the glacier is too unstable and changeable; it could be your very last adventure.
