LANGJOKULL GLACIER

The weather was getting colder, but we were going to a huge glacier to explore it and enter a big manmade ice cave inside the Langjokull Glacier. After stopping to see some more frozen waterfalls, we went to a staging place and boarded a huge glacier truck that carried us up, up, and up the side of the glacier until we reached the entrance of the cave. It was a total "white out" and we could not see anything. I saw some tall sticks close by the truck so they could navigate. After an hour, we reached the entrance....and put on our crampons, and entered into the entrance for a guided glacier tour. It was cold, but no wind inside, so that helped with the wind chill....we even saw real crevasses...from the bottom up.  After we were really chilled, we turned around and went bag to the snow truck for chocolate milk and pastries.

Crampons: Someone suggested we bring crampons on this adventure and they have been most used! Mine are easy to pull on and off and make walking in the snow, AND Ice so much easier and safer. It was the best thing I brought...except for long undies!
