SNOWMOBILE

SNOWMOBILE FROM SKJÓL

The Adventure starts with a super truck transport from Amazing Basecamp Skjól, located between infamous Geysir and Gullfoss Waterfall, to the snowmobile base at the edge of Langjökull glacier.

At the base by Langjökull, Iceland’s second largest glacier, we provide the gear needed, helmet, winter overall and gloves, to make sure you are safe and warm on the snowmobile activity. Before we hit the throttle a certified snowmobile guide will teach you all the basic and show you have to safely before we head out for an hour snowmobile adventure.   
The glacier is roughly parallel to the direction of the country’s active volcanic zone: north-east to south-west. Under Langjökull there are two or more volcanic systems. The area of the glacier includes some mountains, e.g. Mt. Skriðufell and Jarlhettur (“The earl’s hat”) on the east side of Langjökull, a palagonitic mountain range, which originated in a fissure vent under a glacier during Ice Age. On a clear day we can even see Eiríksjökull glacier, the dome-shaped Hofsjökull glacier and Kerlingafjöll Mountain range rest in the distance.

The snowmobile tour is a fantastic way to enjoy a fun glacier adventure.

Please note:
