Explore an Ice Cave! Geology for Kids

The video explores different types of caves, focusing on ice caves and glacier caves. It explains how glacier caves form in glaciers through melted water creating tunnels, while ice caves form by trapping cold air, allowing water to freeze year-round. The world's largest ice cave, Eisriesenwelt in Austria, is highlighted. The video also discusses the unique life forms, like tardigrades, that inhabit these cold environments.
