Jeepsafari on Langjökull III

On the top of the glacier we had a short break. The temperature: -15°C (without the chill factor of the wind!) Langjökull 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. Its highest peak reaches 1360 metres.
The view from the top of the glacier was absolutely rewarding! It felt as if being part of some alien sort of landscape - hostile but fascinating and beautiful!
Under the glacier we had a short stop to pump up our tyres again. We were surprised by a light snowstorm. If you left the hidden place behind the jeep the wind chilled your body warmth away in seconds!
