Behold three breathtaking natural wonders within the Golden Circle, at times while riding in a monster truck designed to drive through snow and ice. The 8-wheeled truck – named Sleipnir in honor of Odin’s mythological 8-legged horse – will take you across Langjökull Glacier, the second-largest mass of ice in Iceland. It will be an extraordinary adventure as you will drive over a glacial terrain that other vehicles simply can’t negotiate. Along the way, you will stop for a closer look at highlights such as the roaring waterfall Gullfoss, where you will re-board the original motor coach. You will next visit Geysir, a geothermal area with dozens of hot springs and geysers heated by the vast boiling cauldron that lies below the surface. Following lunch, you will settle in for a scenic drive to Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site where the world’s first parliament assembled in 930 AD.
