Rescue operations resumed in southern Iceland following the collapse of an ice cave, leaving one dead and two injured, with ongoing efforts to locate two missing persons.
The rescue operation involved over 100 emergency responders facing challenges due to the rugged terrain, employing chainsaws and ice picks to break through the ice.
Tourists described the cave as being between three to five meters deep, highlighting the dangers that became apparent during the guided tour.
The Breiamerkurjokull glacier, a major tourist attraction, has a historical context of retreat since 1930, affecting the landscape and safety of its ice formations.
