Why it's on Icebreaker
Snowmobiling on Langjökull
Langjökull is Iceland's second-largest ice cap and its most popular glacier for snowmobiling, helped by the fact that the way up starts just past Gullfoss. Mountaineers of Iceland meet you at the Gullfoss car park, load you into a monster truck for the 35-to-65-minute crawl to the ice, and dress you in overalls, balaclava and helmet until you resemble furniture. Then comes an hour on the sleds, following the guide in a line across a great deal of white. It is more of a workout than it looks: lean into the turns. Two share a machine and the driver needs a licence. Departures most days, all year, though weather can cancel the glacier part. Variations add a man-made ice tunnel, or the Golden Circle by super jeep from Reykjavík.
