Description
Go beyond simply seeing a glacier and step inside Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest ice cap. From Klaki Base Camp, a specially modified glacier vehicle carries you across the brilliant white expanse towards an extraordinary tunnel carved into the heart of the ice.
Inside, frozen corridors reveal layers of compressed snow, deep blue ice and the immense scale of the glacier above you. Your guide brings the landscape to life while the route leads through chambers and passageways unlike anything visible from the surface.
This compact 2.5-hour experience is ideal for self-drive travellers who want a genuine glacier adventure without committing to a full-day tour. It combines an exciting vehicle journey, vast highland scenery and the unforgettable feeling of standing inside an ice cap.
Choose your date and make the hidden world inside Langjökull one of the standout moments of your Iceland journey.
