are like
something out of Narnia under the White Witch. Sculpted drip by drip over millenniums,
the icy underworld of the limestone Tennengebirge range is billed as the world's largest
accessible ice cave. Otherworldly sculptures, shimmering lakes and a cavernous
Eispalast
(ice palace) appear as you venture deep into the frozen heart of the mountain, carbide lamp
in hand. Even in summer, temperatures down here are subzero, so wrap up warm.
