The world’s glaciers are in a very vulnerable state, and may disappear altogether.

Langjokull, which means ‘long glacier’ in Icelandic, is a two-hour drive from Reykjavik, and already attracts a large number of visitors. Not only tourists, but also geologists and glacier researchers come here to study the movement and formation of ice.
