About Langjokull
Langjokull means ‘Long Glacier’ and is about 50 km long and 15-20 km wide. The volume of the glacier is 195 km3 and the ice can be around 580 m thick. Very little water runs from Langjokull glacier on the surface, however, by sub-surface streams, Langjokull supplies Thingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland, lakes to the North, geothermal areas to the West, as well as the Geysir area. The Geysir geothermal area lies near the southern end of the lengthy fissure system extending from Langjokull central volcano.
About the Ice Cave
Walk into the Ice Cave entrance and through the ice tunnel that leads you approximately 200-300 metres into the glacier, towards the stunning blue ice that lies at the heart, and towards the natural ice cave. Walk to the middle of the crevasse on a specially constructed bridge and marvel at this natural wonder.
Also inside you will explore many nooks and chambers containing interesting information and research about the glacier, exhibitions and even a small chapel for those who would like to get married in the ice cave!
