No—ice caves are seasonal and reliant on weather and glacier conditions; operators assess safety daily and may substitute sites if access is unsafe.
No prior experience is needed; guides provide safety briefings, helmets, and crampons when necessary, but you should be steady on your feet.
Children can join but check operator age restrictions and ensure they can handle cold conditions and short walks on uneven terrain.
Katla is a subglacial volcano beneath Mýrdalsjökull; past eruptions have caused massive jökulhlaups that reshaped the south coast and influenced local settlement patterns.
Glacial landscapes are fragile—stay with your guide, avoid touching blue ice, and carry out all waste; operators follow permits and safety rules to minimize impact.
