The Raufarholshellir cave is only 45 minutes from the capital -- but it remains nearly unexplored. I had difficulty finding it with my GPS, but it was literally just off a paved road. It is incredible how a 1.3km cave is unfenced and open to anyone and everyone.We went about 400m into the cave before turning back. That may not sound like much, but after advancing 10 meters into the cave, there is a complete absence of light!
Let me just say that one does not feel very comfortable when there are collapsed boulders all around and water is dripping from the ceiling. Our two flashlights were just enough to help us dodge various collapsed boulders.
we are planning a similar trip .. can you provide us directions to the cave at indusbreed@gmail.com?
