Hmmm... I'm in a huge cave of ice, let me look closely with this huge torch.

[–]Coady_L 32 points33 points ago

Look at the pristine clarity of the ice formed over generations... oh, except for that huge soot spot

[–]Arturrono 8 points9 points ago

Lets see what happens when I melt the ceiling! I bet it won't collapse...

[–]DrSusset 4 points5 points ago

that looks like a flare torch, I don't know if they emit high heat though

[–]GrandmaBogus 18 points19 points ago

fire is usually hot.

I don't know what this is from, but every time I see it it reminds me of Bill Nye's "Did you know that..." segments.

[–]r4r4me 2 points3 points ago

"... now you know."

[–]DrSusset -1 points0 points ago

flares aren't fire T_T

[–]Rauol_Duke 0 points1 point ago

Well to be fair, Eskimos can light fires in their igloos.

[–]come_on_seth 19 points20 points ago

Looks like the inside of dragon's mouth. Its uvula is aglow.

[–]dracoleo 8 points9 points ago

Really? I am now convinced I can never get an original comment on Reddit :)

[–]come_on_seth 1 point2 points ago

Not at all, been there myself. Timing, luck...keep trying. BTW, were going to say 'uvula is aglow' also?

[–]dracoleo 2 points3 points ago

No ... just to use uvula.

[–]come_on_seth 1 point2 points ago

Open wide and say AaHhhhhhh

[–]MrConfucius 2 points3 points ago

Not the first time I've said that.

[–]come_on_seth 1 point2 points ago

Well now you are either bragging, rubbing it in or some combination...

BTW, keep up the good work

[–]MrConfucius 1 point2 points ago

Or just rollin with a joke!

And you too, keep on keepin' on.

[–]done_holding_back 1 point2 points ago

I was going to say something about "the dragon's gullet".

[–]juicemack3 5 points6 points ago

Dat uvula

[–]Socky_McPuppet 1 point2 points ago

Its uvula is aglow.

I wonder if this sentence has even been written before in the history of the English language ...

[–]come_on_seth 0 points1 point ago

I would like to thank the academy, my grade school English teachers, college anatomy professor and most of all Socky McPuppet for this nomination.

It has been reposted regularly. It was also in the album of amazing pictures from 2012, which was also posted to Reddit at least once, and can be found here.

[–]Forkler -4 points-3 points ago

Was just thinking, I haven't seen a repost of this in a couple weeks. It's about due.

Fact of the matter guys, people sit with these images on their harddrives, look at karma decay to see if it has been a sufficient amount of time since the last time it had been posted, and post it to whore karma. It's pretty freaking sad if you ask me.

grammar edit

[–]Borgismorgue 3 points4 points ago

I've realized that I dont even mind reposts anymore.

Seeing something interesting again isnt that bad after you've seen 4 years worth of shit. Some stuff I hardly remember so its a nice refersher.

Just picking. ;)

[–]Lurkerage 2 points3 points ago

Did he find the iron boots in the cave?

[–]DoubleHoeSeven 2 points3 points ago

Thought this looked like a giant ice mouth with a fire uvula.

[–]RevantRed 7 points8 points ago

This is what I imagine the inside of Kristen Stewarts vagina looks like.

[–]Just_another_man 3 points4 points ago

Ooh that was a very brave, unique, and witty point you made.

[–]RevantRed 0 points1 point ago

Thanks! I thought so too!

[–]bilboballbagins77 1 point2 points ago

Looks like a whales throat!

[–]Onlysilverworks 1 point2 points ago

What tool is lighting fire in an ice cave?

[–]Borgismorgue 0 points1 point ago

Video games have taught me that that cave will now instantly melt.

Thanks a lot torch-guy.

[–]fishwithfeet 1 point2 points ago

You can also see ice caves like this in Washington State.

Big Four Ice Caves

[–]Ghooble 1 point2 points ago

Indeed. People lately are posting all these links towards WA and it's finally giving me a little pride in the state. Like "yeah, I've been there. No big deal" then I flip out a comb and some grease and pull my hair back.

[–]aaronkz 0 points1 point ago

Went here at night on a weeknight. It was deserted so we ignored all signs and common sense and went inside the cave. Totally worth it.

[–]Lalli-Oni 0 points1 point ago

and Iceland.

[–]GeneraIDisarray -1 points0 points ago

Repost in reddit/r/pics, near r/funny.

[–]CleanBaldy 0 points1 point ago

I would love to pan for gold there. I bet that water run off into that gravel would yield lots of good volcanic treasures! Does it meet another stream somewhere, because that's the spot!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

So, from what I understand (and I could be COMPLETELY wrong here), the texture of the ice there is formed when there's quite a bit of high velocity water flowing through there and rocks chip away at the sides...

I wouldn't want to stand there...

[–]dream_green 1 point2 points ago

This looks like a place you would find your spirit animal.

[–]YOLO_HASHTAG_SWAG 1 point2 points ago

Exploring an ice cave near the most active volcano in Kamchatka with an open flame. That looks like a ton of fun actually.

[–]throwaway-o 0 points1 point ago

What's that episode of Voyager? I swear I never saw Neelix go into an ice cave.

[–]1leggeddog 0 points1 point ago

There are volcanoes in russia?

wiki

Wow. there are a crap ton but they are all along the "ring of fire" in the pacific, minus a few on the mainland.

[–]-PAVY- 1 point2 points ago

Complementary Color scheme guys, blue and orange ;)

[–]strith 0 points1 point ago

It's the battlefield 3 of ice caves.

[–]Strange1130 0 points1 point ago

anyone else think of this guy?

Hurry up global warming, I'm sick of this repost.

[–]ND33D 0 points1 point ago

I want to recreate this in Minecraft, and then watch it melt.

[–]Dr-Sommer 1 point2 points ago

This TOTALLY reminds me of a Scrooge McDuck Comic from Don Rosa. To get to his hidden valley where he eventually finds his huge gold nugget, he has to go through a very similar cave. Cool thing this exists!

Edit: found it! It's as if Don has been there for real...

[–]houtx 0 points1 point ago

Is that Dovahkiin?

[–]craigsproof 0 points1 point ago

The best way to illuminate the ice cave is with a big fucking flame.

[–]jimthedestroyer 0 points1 point ago

Does anyone know how the ice forms like that?

[–]Retardeted 0 points1 point ago

On the side it says, "Lindsey Stirling was here."

[–]onetonnesoup 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of that Gaviscon advert.

[–]BreakinBadass 0 points1 point ago

why the fuck do we let this get reposted every other month. really...

[–]shizzyyyyy 0 points1 point ago

This scares me more than it should because of the X-Files movie.

[–]waxmycrax 0 points1 point ago

Should be used in game of thrones as the tunnel through the wall

[–]autobotguy 0 points1 point ago

What a magical place and great color composition on the pic. And yes hilarious fire and ice... with man being under ice :P

[–]burstonyamom 0 points1 point ago

Bear Grills told me that those can be slippy and hazardous, so I don't venture into them.

[–]Creeper_Face 0 points1 point ago

Am I gonna have to be the one to say that the walls look like boobs?

[–]brandontoms 0 points1 point ago

If I had a nickel for every time this picture was posted on Reddit, I'd have a shitload of nickels.

[–]whoseclinton 0 points1 point ago

Hey man, nice repost

[–]langer44 0 points1 point ago

this is so cool looking, would love to go see something like this one day

[–]Stall0ne 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, light a fire in a fucking ice cave Einstein.. what's the worst that can happen?

My wife asked if this was the throat of a whale. I am not even kidding.
