Ice Cave

An ice cave is any type of natural cave (most commonly lava tubes or limestone caves) that contains significant amounts of perennial (year-round) ice. At least a portion of the cave must have a temperature below 0 °C (32 °F) all year round, and water must have traveled into the cave’s cold zone.

The term ice cave is often used to describe a cavity formed within ice, which is properly called a glacier cave.

Famous quotes containing the words ice and/or cave:

    I know the ice in your drink is senile.
    I know your smile will develop a boil.
    You know only that you are on top,
    swinging like children on the money swing....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Nothing is uglier than the sinner, nothing so leprous or fetid; the scar of his crimes is still raw, and he stinks like the cave of Hell.
    Aurelius Clemens Prudentius (c. 348–405)
