The cave, located in Tierra del Fuego National Park, was shut down following a fatal incident in 2022. The collapse occurred recently, leaving only rubble where the cave once stood. Local reactions have been mixed, with many expressing shock over the loss of the popular tourist attraction. Authorities had warned about the cave's unstable structure, which posed risks to visitors. The cave had been off-limits since 2021 after a Brazilian tourist was killed by falling ice.
