A partly submerged glacier cave on Perito Moreno Glacier. The ice facade is approximately 60 m high Ice formations in the Titlis glacier cave. A glacier cave is a cave formed within the ice of a glacier. Glacier caves are often called ice caves, but the latter term is properly used to describe bedrock caves that contain year-round ice. [1]
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 Paradise Ice Caves (also known as the Paradise Glacier Caves) were a system of interconnected glacier caves located within Mount Rainier's Paradise Glacier in the United States. These glacier caves were visited and documented at least as early as 1908. [ 1 ]
Mendenhall Glacier Caves, Alaska. Located in the Mendenhall Valley near Juneau, these otherworldly caves form beneath a 12-mile-long glacier. The caves' hypnotizing blue hue is a result of light ...
The Sandy Glacier Caves are a system of glacier caves within the ice of Sandy Glacier on Mount Hood, Oregon. They are thought to be the largest glacier caves in the lower 48 states of the United States. [1] Surveys done in 2011 and 2012 have measured the system at over 1 mile in length or about 7,000 feet.

Many of these glacier caves were big enough to explore, like the glacier caves on the summit of Mount Rainier. Most of the glacier caves were located near the 1980s lava dome, where hot steam and volcanic gas emissions from hidden fumaroles on the crater floor or lava dome melted holes in the young glacial ice. [19] About 7,900 feet or 2.4 km ...
