1 Langjökull GlacierOnce you reach out basecamp, we will kit you out with your crampons and other safety gear. Then it´s all aboard our distinctive red monster truck as we ascend to Langjökull glacier. You might be imagining a bumpy ride over the ice, but the suspension on the vehicle and the comfortable bucket seats ensure a smooth journey as we explore the otherworldly terrain. Our 8-wheeler truck is named Sleipnir, after the norse god Oðin´s 8-legged horse!
2 Langjokull glacier ice caveLangjökull is vast and Iceland´s second largest glacier, extending across 935km2. But our guides know where the best ice caves are! We arrive to the blue ice cave and disembark from our comfortable ride. Strap on your crampons for trek on the ice and descend into the ice cave.
On a sunny day, the light penetrates through the thick ice, and refracted light within is a beautiful sight to behold.
