On Sunday, an incident occurred at an ice cave in Iceland where a group of tourists were exploring. The cave's ceiling collapsed, resulting in at least one fatality and two serious injuries. One of the injured individuals died at the scene, while the other was airlifted to a hospital in Reykjavik. Four people were trapped inside the cave, and a search operation is ongoing to locate them. The incident occurred around 3 pm, and first responders were quickly dispatched to the scene.
