Instead of a slow slog on snowshoes, a giant bus sweeps passengers at up to 60km an hour across Iceland's second largest glacier, which scientists predict will likely be nearly gone by the end of the century.
The red glacier mega bus is 15m (50ft) long and fitted with massive tyres for traction across the powder snow of western Iceland's vast Langjokull ice cap.
