Stunning photos from inside the glistening underground space shows a warm orange glow spreading out across the horizon. The bright sunlight streaming in bounces off the deep blue of the caves walls, warming its icy inside. The pictures were taken on January 2 at Iceland's Vatnajokull glacier, fully reflecting the country's reputation as the Land of Ice and Fire. Photographer Sigurdur William Brynjarsson even managed to silhouette himself in the caves entrance for one of the most striking shots.
