An ice cave is any type of natural cave (most commonly lava tubes or limestone caves) that contains significant amounts of perennial (year-round) ice. At least a portion of the cave must have a temperature below 0 °C (32 °F) all year round, and water must have traveled into the cave’s cold zone.
Dark and Darker is a first-person hybrid between a dungeon crawler and a role-playing game with a dark medieval fantasy setting. [4] The game blends elements from role-playing systems such as Dungeons & Dragons, [5] roguelikes, and multiplayer video games such as DayZ, and has been described [by whom?] as belonging to the "extraction" subgenre of battle royales.
The ice is decorated with stalagmites, stalactites and ice columns. [2] [7] It fills the deeper parts of the cave. [8] This body of ice has been called a glacier. [9] Grotta del Gelo is not the only cave containing ice on Mount Etna; the Abisso del Ghiaccio ("Abyss of Ice") which formed in 1947 also contains ice deposits but is not accessible. [10]
During a cave dive, one passes the point where daylight can penetrate, and one follows a safety guideline to exit the cave. Things change quite dramatically once moving from a cavern dive into a cave dive. [22] Contrary to cenote cavern diving, cenote cave diving requires special equipment and training (certification for cave diving).
The cave's coordinates are approximately 49°37'N, 114°38'W. [10] Booming Ice Chasm is located in the Crowsnest Pass area. It is one of three widely known caving systems in the Crowsnest Pass, along with Gargantua and Cleft Cave. [11] Booming Ice Chasm is also approximately several hundred metres east of another ice cave called Ice Chest. [10]

The ice formations in the cave were formed by thawing snow which drained into the cave and froze during winter. [4] Since the entrance to the caves is open year-round, chilly winter winds blow into the cave and freeze the snow inside. In summer, a cold wind from inside the cave blows toward the entrance and prevents the formations from melting.
