Explore Iceland’s Unique “Into the Glacier” Adventure
For the first time in the world, visitors can explore the heart of a glacier with the “Into the Glacier” tour, a groundbreaking experience through Iceland’s Langjökull Glacier. This remarkable journey takes you into the depths of Iceland’s second-largest glacier, spanning an area of 950 square kilometers and reaching a depth of 580 meters at its deepest point.
About the Langjökull Glacier
Langjökull, meaning “The Long Glacier,” lies in the central highlands of Iceland and offers a stunning icy landscape. Local farmers from Húsafell brought this vision to life by creating a tunnel 20 meters beneath the glacier’s surface, offering an unprecedented perspective of the icy underworld.
Your Adventure Begins
Reaching the glacier is an adventure in itself. You’ll travel aboard specially designed 8×8 vehicles, originally engineered to transport missiles. These powerful trucks have been adapted for passenger use, ensuring a thrilling and reliable journey across the icy terrain. The motto? “In Iceland’s highlands, the bigger, the better!”
What Awaits Inside the Glacier
The guided tour takes you through illuminated tunnels adorned with eco-friendly LED lights, highlighting the glacier’s mesmerizing blue ice. Unique rooms carved from the glacier offer a surreal resting spot, complete with icy furniture. One of the most awe-inspiring features is a natural glacier crevasse, providing a rare view of this stunning geological phenomenon from below.
A Sustainable Project
The “Into the Glacier” initiative, launched in summer 2015, is designed to have minimal impact on the glacier. If abandoned, the glacier is expected to recover naturally over time. Researchers from the University of Iceland are also involved, studying the glacier to monitor its health and dynamics.
