At least one person has died and two others are missing after an ice cave partially collapsed during a tourist visit to the Breidamerkurjokull glacier in southern Iceland. The incident occurred when a group of around 25 foreign tourists, accompanied by a guide, were exploring the ice caves. Four people were hit by falling ice, resulting in two serious injuries and one fatality at the scene. Search and rescue efforts were suspended due to dangerous conditions but will continue the next day. The collapse is not believed to be related to a recent volcanic eruption in southeast Iceland.
