Majestic natural objects form in the southern part of the body of the ice giant for several thousand years. The process of cave formation from ice is caused by the movement of meltwater streams that seeps into the large glacier slits or at their intersection and after centuries forms whole ice tunnels and passages, sometimes traversed by humans. Some of them arise due to the activity of underground geothermal sources – hot water makes huge galleries under the thickness of the glacier relatively quickly. The length of ice tunnels can reach 300 meters, depth – 100 meters and more.
