One Dead, Two Missing After Ice Cave Collapse in Iceland

A tragic incident occurred at the Breidamerkurjokull glacier in southern Iceland, where an ice cave partially collapsed during a tour, resulting in one death and two individuals still missing. Local police reported that emergency responders were called shortly before 3 p.m. on Sunday when four tourists were struck by falling ice. One person died at the scene, while another was airlifted to a hospital and is currently in stable condition. Rescue operations have faced challenges due to rugged terrain, and efforts were paused after dark but will resume the following morning. The group, consisting of about 25 foreign tourists, was on an organized tour with a guide, although most were outside the cave during the collapse. Authorities have stated that the incident is unlikely to be connected to a recent volcanic eruption in the region.
