Its name translating to ‘The Long Glacier’, the mighty Langjökull nestles on the Icelandic Highlands. One of the best places in Iceland for snowmobile safaris, Langjökull is home to some of the best high altitude hiking trails in the country. Near its highest peaks is a man made tunnel, offering a gorgeous drive tour into the interiors of the icy glacier. Home to several glacial lakes, Langjökull also forms a major part of The Golden Circle, which is Iceland’s most scenic tour route.
Location: Icelandic Highlands
Best time to visit: Between October to March, when the icy glacier appears most beautiful
