Giant ice caves have appeared in glaciers accelerating the melting process faster than expected as warmer air rushes through the ice mass until it collapses. REUTERS/Lisi Niesner

Scientists are venturing inside otherworldly ice caves growing beneath Austria's doomed glaciers to study why they are melting even faster than expected, and understand the fate that will befall glaciers elsewhere if climate change is not halted.

The eerie blue caverns beneath them hold clues as to how the ice which built up over millennia and melted over decades collapsed far faster than expected. REUTERS/Lisi Niesner
