American tourist Scott Stevens and his daughter Wylde, 10, believe they were moments away from being killed in Iceland’s cave collapse on Sunday.
Stevens, visiting from Austin, Texas, was taking photos of his daughter in the Breiðamerkurjökull ice cave and almost stayed a few extra minutes to take pictures with an additional lens. “I was cognizant of the other group behind me, and I didn’t want to hold everyone up, because it’s kind of a single file line.

And you know, he’s not going home.” The elder Stevens said there were two separate groups visiting the cave. He was in the first group and the deceased and injured were in the second, he said. The groups traveled together, but each had about a dozen people with separate tour guides. When Scott Stevens heard the loud boom, he was talking to his group’s tour guide. “He kind of looked at me.
