Inside the Glacier

 

Highlights - Exploring one of Iceland's most spectacular Ice Caves - Witness the blue ice at the heart of a glacier - Experience the glacial environment of an ice cap - Journey up to the Ice Cave in a modified glacier vehicle - Seeing the most powerful hot spring in Europe, Deildartunguhver - Marvel at the picturesque Hraunfossar waterfalls This tour takes you to Langjökull glacier for a once in a lifetime adventure deep inside the glacier in some of the world’s largest man made ice caverns. On the way to the ice cave, we will visit the most powerful hot spring in Europe, Deildartunguhver, and the picturesque Hraunfossar waterfalls, a series of waterfalls formed by rivulets streaming out of a lava field. Lunch break will be taken at a place called Húsafell Bistro before we board the glacier vehicle. The caverns are composed of an extensive system of tunnels and chambers that stretch close to 300 metres into the solid ice cap towards a breathtaking natural Ice Cave at the heart of the glacier. Making your way inside the glacier you’ll be able to explore various nooks and chambers and walk over a huge ice crevasse on a specially constructed bridge. As you walk further along the tunnel, the ice gets older and its colour gradually changes from white to deep-blue. In every chamber you will find interesting information about the glacier on display and for those who would like to get married in the ice cave there's even a small Ice Chapel!
