Ice Caves Mutnovsky, Russia
From series “Fantastic and Colorful Caves Inside the Earth”
In Russia on Kamchatka there is a majestic Mutnovsky volcano, on one of the slopes of which scientists have discovered a unique cave. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that this is an icy cave. For many years it has been existing in close proximity to the incandescent volcano crater. The cave is incredibly beautiful. The sunlight penetrating it paints the walls and the ceiling in all colours of the rainbow.
Mutnovsky Cave owes its formation to volcanic activity. Under its influence, there is a continuous melting of the glacier, the waters of which wash incredibly beautiful tunnels in the permafrost. The last eruption of the volcano occurred in 2000. In the case of a repeated eruption, the cave can be completely destroyed, but in its place will be inevitably formed equally beautiful new ones.
