The Coudersport Ice Mine is an ice cave located in Sweden Township, Pennsylvania, (east of Coudersport) that forms icicles in the spring and summer but not in the winter. Ice formations appear in the shaft during the spring of the year, continue through the hot weather, and disappear in winter.
An ice cave is any type of natural cave (most commonly lava tubes or limestone caves) that contains significant amounts of perennial (year-round) ice. At least a portion of the cave must have a temperature below 0 °C (32 °F) all year round, and water must have traveled into the cave’s cold zone.
The ice formations in the cave were formed by thawing snow which drained into the cave and froze during winter. [4] Since the entrance to the caves is open year-round, chilly winter winds blow into the cave and freeze the snow inside. In summer, a cold wind from inside the cave blows toward the entrance and prevents the formations from melting.

The explored length of the ice cave is 3,621 meters, of which, 500 meters is a guided tour at temperatures near zero degrees ...
The ice is decorated with stalagmites, stalactites and ice columns. [2] [7] It fills the deeper parts of the cave. [8] This body of ice has been called a glacier. [9] Grotta del Gelo is not the only cave containing ice on Mount Etna; the Abisso del Ghiaccio ("Abyss of Ice") which formed in 1947 also contains ice deposits but is not accessible. [10]
