Glaciospeleology

Today we explored one of the glacier caves near Longyearbyen. This one is the easiest accessible - by the foot of Larsbreen (the Lars glacier). The two others that have been opened (one on Longyearbreen and the other in Bolterdalen) are larger, but we hadn´t time to go and find them, so we stuck to the small one.

More space inside, but not enough to stand up. Here´s me struggling with my claustrophobia.


But the kids were very relaxed. Here´s Isak and Emma.



Rocks and ice crystals in the "ceiling".


And, in case you wondered, this is what glaciospeleology means - exploration of glacier caves.
