Langjökull Glacier Exploration
Beginning: The transfer to our main base where we keep the trucks is in a Highland bus. Once aboard the Monster Glacier Truck, pick one of the comfortable seats. Our adventure's about to begin! Stories Along the Way: From start to finish, our guides, reservoirs of glacier knowledge and folklore, will keep you entertained. Their tales are as captivating as the scenery outside. Traveling to the Glacier: We'll travel along the highland road to Langjökull, the 'Long Glacier'. Every turn reveals a new, beautiful sight. This location was challenging to reach in the past, but with our Monster Glacier Truck, we can get there comfortably. Ice Cave Visit: Take a step into the glacier’s heart and marvel at the glittering facets of the crystal-clear ice that is lined with black ash frozen in time, and the subtle blue hues of the denser ice. Due to Iceland's volcanic activity, the glaciers often contain black volcanic ash from eruptions centuries ago, frozen within the ice. Pictures Time: Inside the ice cave, glittering walls and a calm atmosphere greet you. Outside, the large glacier and nearby views are just as stunning.
