Visitors to Iceland can explore ice caves on Langjokull glacier and rarely seen landscapes of the interior highlands on a new day-tour, Through the Rugged Highlands by Into the Glacier.

Into the Glacier is the world's largest manmade ice tunnel carved deep inside Langjokull, itself one of the world's largest glaciers.

Since opening in 2015 Into the Glacier has become Iceland's top-rated, year-round, glacier experience.

Transport to the ice caves is made by snowmobile or in a custom glacier truck modified from NATO missile launchers.

The Through the Rugged Highlands tour sees guests travelling in a street-legal glacier truck, from Thingvellir National Park through the rugged highlands along Kaldidalur (Cold Valley), an ancient mountain road in use since Viking times.

The ancient highland track from Thingvellir across Kaldidalur mountain track reveals Iceland's rarely visited glacial wilderness of barren landscapes devoid of life.

There are geological formations like the continental drift at Thingvellir where Eurasion and North American tectonic plates meet.

This new travel concept is made possible by recent infrastructure improvements to Iceland's highland route network and the use of a new street-legal glacier truck specially modified to handle the tour's wildly contrasting terrain of glacial ice, volcanic mud, and unpaved backroads.
