Iceland’s new attraction: tunnel into a glacier

As if Iceland didn’t already have enough to attract tourists and keep them busy, a new tunnel, dug deep into the heart of a glacier, will open in June. 

 

The tunnel, the world’s first on an ice-cap glacier, goes into the western side of Langjokull, 140 km north of Rekyjavik. Visitors will enter the tunnel 40 at a time in special vehicles, and will be able to stop at several points for exhibits built into chambers along the way. One chamber is set up as a chapel for couples who want a really chill wedding.

Glaciers are constantly moving, and not all parts at the same rate!  Makes you wonder how they plan on keeping the tunnel safe and in good condition all the time?
