The inside of Iceland’s glaciers looks like another planet
Located deep inside Iceland's Vatnajökull glacier is a blue ice cave wonderland.
These caves are only accessible during certain times of the year. As the glacier shifts, it can reveal different access points to complex cave systems that are there for only a matter of weeks before the glacier changes again.
The Vatnajökull glacier is one of the largest in Europe and the caves, while breathtaking, are inaccessible without guides. Some of the caves can require hiking and climbing for nearly two hours.

Photographer Mikael Buck with assistance from renowned local Icelandic guide Einar Runar Sigurdsson, explored the frozen world of Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland using Sony’s world first back-illuminated full-frame sensor, which features in the 7R II camera. His images were taken without use of a tripod or any image stitching techniques in photoshop. This was made possible through Sony’s new sensor technology, allowing incredibly detailed low-light hand held photography. Previously images this detailed would have required carrying bulky equipment to the caves, some of which can require hiking and climbing over a glacier for up to two hours to to access. The images were taken without the use of any external sources — just the natural light that filters through the ice caves.
