A group of 25 people were on an organised tour of the glacier Breidamerkurjokull today with a guide, when the cave collapsed.
One foreign tourist has died and two remain missing after an ice cave collapsed in southeast Iceland while a tour group was visiting the area.
Sudurland police said four people had got stuck under the ice. Sadly one tourist has been confirmed dead, two people remain trapped and one tourist has been injured but is in a stable condition. Sveinn Kristján Rúnarsson, chief police officer, told local news website RUV that all rescue work was being carried out by hand and that so far, no contact has been made with the two missing persons.
