Ice Tunnel Lets You Trek Through the Heart of a Glacier

Earlier this month, Icelandic adventure tour operators Baldvin Einarsson and Hallgrímur Örn Arngrímsson opened ‘Into the Glacier,’ setting the record for the largest man-made ice tunnel and ice structure ever. Dug out of Langjökull, one of the biggest glaciers in Iceland, the project provides a unique experience for visitors to witness how packed snow gradually turns into glacial ice. With its entrance rising 1,200 feet above sea level, guests are shuttled to the ice cap in 8-wheel trucks to begin their trek through the one-of-a-kind attraction. The tour of the 1800 feet long tunnel consists of details about the formation of glaciers and rare glimpses of ice layers, crevasses, moulins, and blue ice among others. Definitely a must for the old bucket-list.
