A twenty ton ice explorer truck owned and run by Arngrimur Hermannsson ( Arni) next to a Moulin, or sink hole for meltwater. He uses the truck to take tourists onto the Langjokull ice cap. Like all Icelands glaciers it is melting rapidly and predicted to disappear within 100 years. As Arni says, every time I come up hear, the glacier has retreated a bit further.
