This cave is in the mountains of Center Iceland, called Landmannahellir, or Landmans Cave. This was shot with a flash on the floor, triggered by a Cactuz. Raw file with some Levels and Curves and Smart Sharpen at the end.

Great find and perfect for the challenge. Tough scene to expose for but I think you pulled it off. Composition could be a little stronger as indicated by previous comments but I guess the question is "How?"
The angle you chose gives a sense of place which is important I think. Shooting into the cave wouldn't have given us a sense of the interior that we see here. Shooting from a lower angle would have resulted in more bright sky. Moving left or right, judging from the walls, doesn't look like an option either. I'd be curious to see what other angles you shot but I don't imagine they're going to be any better than what you presented here.
Interesting place, nice exposure, I find the position of the girl walking away little distracting though mainly because she lines up with the end of the rock wall. Is the white in the lower area Ice? Fits nicely in the challenge - 8
A livestock pen? Very interesting place and I am impressed that the lighting is such that you can see in the cave and outside without something being too dark or blown out.
