World's Largest Ice Caves
.jpg)
Ice caves are very different from normal caves. They have a strange feeling about them, as though they are not from this planet, and one has just temporarily stepped into their world when spelunking their depths.
There are many ice caves throughout the world, but the Eisriesenwelt Ice Caves in Austria are some of the largest known to man. They are located within the Tennengebirge Mountains near Salzburg and stretch for a remarkable 40 kilometers. Only a portion of the labyrinth is open to tourists but it's enough to get a taste of what the remaining network is like: a truly mesmerizing palate of Mother Nature's handicraft.
For a photographic journey through these amazing caves, click on the link below and delve into the icy realms of Eisriesenwelt--the World of Ice Giants.

I've been there, it's amazing. There's even a small restaurant when you get near the top.

Beautiful formations! I have visited caves formed by tectonic activity and they are densely inhabited by bats.
I wonder if creatures can survive in ice caves at all.
Great pics!

Look like a depressing version of Superman's fortress of solitude.
