Ice Caves in Iceland
Some ice caves are crystal blue, since they have no debris around them. But others have old volcanic ash around them. Iceland is surrounded by volcanoes, especially on the western part of the country. When volcanoes erupt, volcanic ash lands all over the ice. This therefore makes some ice caves covered with volcanic ash.
