What I embarked on was a massive, specially converted, former NATO missile launcher (!) 25-ton monster truck with eight wheels much, much higher than my 5&#8217;8&#8243; frame. As we drove along the increasingly lunar-like, immaculate landscapes that are so typical of this North Atlantic island, the unmistakenly&nbsp;powerful roaring of the engine left no doubt as to where we were going: further and further away from civilisation \u2014 and yet, oddly enough, I was still able to live stream the expedition using the truck&#8217;s high-speed WiFi \u2014 atop not only Iceland&#8217;s but all of Europe&#8217;s second largest ice cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting a literal spin on the word &#8220;Iceland&#8221;, the expedition inside the belly of this ice monster was nothing short of fascinating. The man-made ice caves present the unique opportunity to see a glacier from the inside, admire its constantly evolving features, and learn more about its captivating geology \u2014 a privilege exclusively enjoyed by glaciologists, until now. It took four full years of planning to complete this project, supervised by Iceland&#8217;s top engineers, geologists and architects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About 25 metres deep beneath the surface lies an intricate network of dimly-lit subglacial tunnels carved in layered blue ice, which itself is formed by decades and decades of amalgamated snowfall. As I ventured further down the caves and explored the different &#8220;rooms&#8221; \u2014 including a chapel! \u2014 I was able to walk next to crevasses and complex formations as my guide, Kolbeinn, pointed out impressive features and vulgarised the science of geology to us, non-scientific folks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even this Canadian, who has admittedly seen her fair share of snow and ice, was left speechless.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id20632_2cf344-d0 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id20632_2cf344-d0 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

considerable sum for a tourist excursion. When else will you be able to venture inside a freakin&#8217; glacier? If you can afford to go, do it. There is no way you will regret it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As our collective ecological debt continues to grow exponentially, the conversation naturally steered towards global warming and the very visible consequences it&#8217;s been causing alongside the Arctic Circle. Although my guide&nbsp;Kolbeinn was eager to clarify the process and point out tangible issues across Iceland, his suddenly sombre expression left no doubt as to the nature of his answers:&nbsp;Langj\u00f6kull is shrinking fast&#8230; Too fast. Studies have shown that it has retreated by about 70 meters in just 60 years. In all likelihood, these tunnels and caves will be gone in 15 years time. In fact, local researchers are concerned that glaciers in Iceland will be entirely annihilated by 2136 \u2014 barely over 100 years \u2014 if global warming continues at its current rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let that be a lesson for us all to try and minimise our carbon footprint as much as humanly possible by opting for eco-friendly travels \u2665<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to visit inside glaciers in Iceland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"875\" height=\"656\" data-id=\"21645\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220164-875x656.jpg\" alt=\"glaciers in Iceland\" class=\"wp-image-21645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220164-875x656.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220164-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220164-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220164-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220164-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220164-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220164-1067x800.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220164-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220164.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"875\" height=\"656\" data-id=\"21647\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220179-875x656.jpg\" alt=\"glaciers in Iceland\" class=\"wp-image-21647\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220179-875x656.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220179-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220179-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220179-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220179-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220179-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220179-1067x800.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220179-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220179.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"875\" height=\"656\" data-id=\"21653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147-875x656.jpg\" alt=\"glaciers in Iceland\" class=\"wp-image-21653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147-875x656.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147-1067x800.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P5220147.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tours with Inside the Glacier are available <a href=\"https:\/\/intotheglacier.is\/tours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">from Reykjavik as a day trip<\/a> or as 2-hour <a href=\"https:\/\/intotheglacier.is\/tour\/your-into-the-glacier-adventure-the-classic-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">expedition from Husafell or Klaki base camp<\/a>, depending on the season.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quite obviously, visitors will need warm clothing to visit the glacier.

Warm, waterproof boots with thick wool socks \u2014you will be walking on snow for the better part of two hours\u2014 as well as a windproof and insulated jacket are pretty much compulsory, as are gloves and hats. Thermal underwear might be a good idea, too, if you get cold easily.
