The Langjökull ice-tunnel, West Iceland, is set to open in the summer of 2015. The construction means visitors will have a new and totally different view of the glacier. Additionally visitors will be granted unique insights into the impact global warming has on the environment.
Workers digging the 500 metre (1,640 feet) long tunnel into Langjökull, Iceland‘s second largest ice cap, recently came across a massive crevasse inside the glacier. It‘s estimated to be around 180 metre (590 ft) high, 5 metre (16 ft) wide and hundreds of metres long and will be part of the ice-tunnel‘s structure.
