    Twelve artificial caves were discovered in the Ægissíða cave near Hella on Iceland's south coast. Five of them are included in daily tours, two of which are entered with a guide. These earth cellars, carved into the rock, are Iceland's oldest surviving archaeological sites. Some believe the caves date back even further than the Norse Viking settlement.
