Langjökull
About
Langjökull is the second largest ice cap in Iceland, after Vatnajökull. It is situated in the west of the Icelandic interior or Highlands of Iceland and can be seen clearly from Haukadalur.
Ancient ice creaks and groans. It's constantly moving, just too slowly for us to see.
It is situated in the west of the Icelandic interior or Highlands of Iceland and can be seen clearly from Haukadalur. It covers the higher parts of the Langjökull volcanic system..
Glacier tours are worth the money. You get crampons, ice axes, and someone who knows where it's safe to step.
