20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Camouflaged Historic Cave of Rutur

We were driving along the road and saw a little ladder to climb up and over the fence to what looked like a turf home. To our surprise it was one of the largest man-made caves in Iceland “Cave of Rutur, which is famous for its mysterious origin and folklore. We were able to explore inside the cave too.
