One tourist was killed and two others are still missing after an ice cave partially collapsed during a tour of the Bredaemkurjokull glacier.
A group of 25 people were on a guided tour of the glacier when one of the caves collapsed.
The glacier where the accident occurred is close to the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, one of Iceland’s most popular tourist attractions.
Local police said four people were injured in the collapse, two of whom were rescued, while one was pronounced dead at the scene and the other was taken to a hospital, reportedly in a stable condition.
Police said that the search for two people trapped in the accident is still ongoing, describing the rescue operation as “complicated” as heavy equipment cannot be used on the glacier.
