A giant bus that rides tourists on a glacier that threatens to disappear, welcome to Iceland.
On the eternal snows of Langjökull, a giant bus rides its passengers up to 60 km / hour on Iceland’s second largest glacier, which scientists predict will almost disappear by the end of the century.
He can cross three-meter crevasses thanks to eight-wheel drive which has earned him the name Sleipnir, named after the eight-legged horse of the main god in Norse mythology Odin. Its passengers become privileged witnesses of the accelerated melting of the second largest ice cap on the subarctic island.
