Into the Glacier offers access to the largest ice tunnel in the world located high on Langjökull Glacier. There you will have an opportunity to explore the glacier and see it from the inside.  In 2010, a bold vision became a reality: drilling a tunnel into the glacier to unveil its mesmerizing 'blue ice'. What started as a dream rapidly transformed into the creation of the first and largest glacier ice tunnel. This endeavor has not only allowed us to explore the glacier but also to study and learn from its history, contributing to our understanding of melting glaciers.  Explore Iceland's wonders with Into the Glacier. Journey deep into Langjökull glacier, home to the world's largest ice tunnel. Our guided tours offer a unique experience, revealing the glacier's stunning beauty and rich history.  We offer:  Our Classic Into the Glacier Tour  With pickup from Reykjavík  Into the Glacier and Snowmobile Combo  Into the Glacier & Northern Lights Tour  Private Tours

The cave itself is an 8000 year old lava tube created by volcanic eruption from a nearby crater in the Purkhólar crater family. As the lava rushed down the hill in a lava river it began to cool on the surface, creating a crust on top of the lava river. As the eruption stopped, all the lava from underneath this crust continued to drain out. That eventually left behind empty tube with roof on top that gradually cooled down. We offer 45 minute guided tours to Vatnshellir Cave.
