The spectacular 165-meter-long ice cave in Tibet

Discovered not long ago, according to local media reports, the ice cave in Penba County, Tibet Autonomous Region, is an arch-shaped cave about 165 metres long, 26 metres wide and 15 metres high. It is currently the largest cave in Tibet.

The ice cave is accessible from both ends and reminds many visitors of a crystal palace, especially when the sunlight transforms the atmosphere inside into a dreamlike place. The central part of the cave appears rather dark, which is why visitors are advised to bring a torch.

The ice cave is located about six kilometres from the village of Phayum, an area that includes snow-capped mountains and glaciers.
