About the Book
Einar Rúnar Sigurðsson, a native mountain guide in southeast Iceland found the Crystal Ice Cave in Vatnajökull in March 2007. Since then the ice cave has formed most years, but it never looks the same two winters in a row. In our days of climate change, the edge of Breiðamerkurjökull glacier is retreating about 100 meters most summers so each version of the ice cave only lasts one winter season.
This book is Einar's photo report about the changes and highlights of photographing this amazing ice cave location over a period of 13 years.

Einar Runar Sigurdsson
785 Oraefi, Iceland

I'm born in 1968 in the district Oraefi in southeast Iceland, and I'm still living there, now with my wife Matthildur Thorsteinsdottir and our sons. Since 1990 we have offered a travel service called From Coast To Mountains at the base of Vatnajokull, Europe's largest glacier. I'm the oldest (in working years) mountain guide in Iceland, but before I became a mountain guide I had planned to become a photographer. In later years I have been able to combine these into one. Around 2006 my company became the first in Iceland to offer daily ice cave tours in winter, and since a lot of our tours to ice caves been with serious photographers I have been able to continue my photography. See www.einarr.is I’m offering Helicopter Ice Cave Tours in winter and Ingólfshöfði Puffin Tour in summer. I have already published one photography book, Crystal Ice Cave, and I'm now (2024) working on a bigger book that I call ICE CAVES. I plan to publish the photography book ICE CAVES in fall 2025.
