Discovering Langjokull Ice Cave Tunnel

Join this tour for a memorable trip to a sprawling farm estate in Húsafell, followed by an afternoon exploring inside Langjökull glacier, roaming the chilly blue-white halls of a man-made ice tunnel.

You'll be picked up at your designated pickup location in Reykjavík and whirled away to Húsafell, just on the edge of the Highlands. From here, you'll hop on a specially equipped glacier vehicle to plough your way through the countryside to Langjökull glacier, the second largest glacier in Iceland. Throughout your journey, you will be surrounded by a stark landscape of mountains and icy plaRead moreins.

Inside the glacier, your knowledgeable guide will explain the effects of global warming on the glaciers and the ecology in Iceland; the problem is so serious that in as little as 80 years, the glacier may have melted away. To combat the effects of greenhouse gases, volunteers plant many trees around Langjökull each year.

Next, you'll go to Deildartunguhver, the highest flowing hot spring in Europe and a pleasant spot of green vegetation and bubbling spring water. Be careful not to get too close - the water is consistently 97 degrees C (206 degrees F). Near the pool, you can also find a plant called the deer fern, Blechnum spicant, which grows nowhere else in Iceland.

You'll also see the exceptional Hraunfossar waterfall, where water cascades then trickle over the lava fields, pouring down into the Hvítá river. This is a fantastic spot for photography enthusiasts.
