As Iceland's second-largest ice cap, Langjokull glacier covers an area of approximately 395 square miles (1,023 square kilometers). Its name, translating to "long glacier," is perfect, given its elongated shape stretching across the landscape, which you can enjoy during the tour.

Once you're done zooming across the glacier, the guide will take you to a natural ice cave for an experience like no other. Upon reaching the ice cave entrance, you'll be equipped with a helmet and crampons for safety.
