Vast deadly ice cave ‘at the end of the world’ COLLAPSES 4yrs after infamous landmark was shut off due to horror crush

A DANGEROUS ice cave in Argentina dubbed “the End of the World” for its closeness to the South Pole has collapsed four years after a tourist’s horror death.

The Jimbo Cave, located in Ushuaia’s Tierra del Fuego National Park—the southernmost tip of South America — gave way in recent days.

National Park authorities had banned entry to the cave since 2021 due to safety concerns.

Their warnings intensified after a tragic incident in 2022, when a large piece of ice fell from the cave’s ceiling, killing a Brazilian tourist.

Heartbreaking footage now reveals what remains of the treacherous cave: where a massive circular hole once stood, there is now only rubble.

Locals and tourists alike have reacted with shock as the unique formation was a magnet for adventurers and visitors from across the globe.

But experts and mountain enthusiasts had long warned about the cave’s fragile structure, fearing its collapse was only a matter of time.

Local media confirmed the cave’s collapse in the early hours of Sunday.

Cordoba native Mica Scapino shared before-and-after photos of the site, writing on X: “Jimbo Cave was an ice formation in Ushuaia that created a very nice natural tunnel, and a few hours ago it finally collapsed (how lucky were those who were able to see it in person).”
