About Iceland

Iceland is a refreshingly unconventional travel destination. The Icelandic nature is unspoilt, exotic and mystical with its spouting geysers, active volcanoes, tumbling waterfalls, towering mountains, vast lava plains and magical lakes. Iceland’s fjords, glaciers and highland plains present visitors with some of the most beautiful and enchanting places they will ever see, as well as a rare feeling of utter tranquillity.

For travelers on a quest for action, Iceland’s pristine nature offers great potential for outdoor activities such as snowmobiling, horse riding, cave exploring, hiking, swimming, skiing, river rafting, kayaking and mountain safaris on modified four-wheel drives, to name but a few. Iceland supports a surprisingly diverse Nordic flora and fauna and is an ideal place for ornithology enthusiasts, while also offering some of the world’s best whale watching destinations. 

Travel with nature, accept it's own rules.

Langjokull

LangjokullLangjökull is, after the Vatnajökull, the second-largest of the glaciers of Iceland (1.021 km2). It is situated in the west of the Icelandic Interior or Highlands of Iceland and can be seen clearly from Haukadalur. It's highest peak reaches 1360 metres (4460 ft). The glacier is located at 64°45 N 19°59 W.

Two of the bigger highland tracks are leading alongside this glacier: Kaldidalur Highland Road and Kjölur Highland Road. Kaldidalur is between Langjökull and the glacier Ok in the west, whereas Kjölur lies between Langjökull and Hofsjökull in the east. In popular culture, the glacier may be best known as the place where pieces of the nuclear-blasted Iron Giant fall in the 1999 animated science fiction film, The Iron Giant, before reassembling themselves.
