Ice cave, Obertraun, Austria

This is enormous! You can just see the fence at the left hand side, and some steps next to them, if you really want to get the scale. Otherwise just leave it to the imagination!!

I can see the fence and the steps very clearly when I look at this photo in 'FULL' size. I seem to remember that you posted a photo very similar to this on Pan, and remarking that it reminded me of of a shark leaping out to catch a penguin. It's a truly remarkable place, Peter.

Hi Amelia,

Thank you so much for visiting, and your suggestion for a name. Yes, "A shark leaping out to catch a penguin", I like it. You are right, this one was on Pano, and I remember your visit and suggestion from there. As the weather has been so bad, I have not been out for a while, so I am raiding the archives instead!

Best Wishes

Hi Andy

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. I have added a link below for you.
It is a genuine cave, which is now well above the snow line, hence permanently frozen. This is kind of the ice equivalent of a stalagmite.

Best Wishes
Peter
