Thrill-seekers now have the chance to spend a night holed up in specially designed glacier tents at the top of Langjökull glacier, Europe’s second largest glacier.
“Now tourists can spend an unforgettable night on top of an Icelandic glacier,” says Ásgeir Höskuldsson, tour guide with Arctic Adventures. The company offers custom made glacier tours for individuals and groups
Special super jeeps take passengers to the camp that’s situated 1,200 metres (3937 feet) above sea level. From there people can venture further up the six-hundred-metre-thick glacier and enjoy what is easily described as a jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring panoramic view.
According to Ásgeir, a night on the glacier is an experience unrivalled by any other.
“There is absolute and complete silence and the experience is quite simply unforgettable.”
However, those interested in spending a night on Langjökull glacier need to be well equipped: Sneakers and a hoody will not cut it, people need to wear hiking boots, warm woollen clothes and insulated outer clothing.
