This gigantic bus ferries sightseers over Langjokull, the second largest glacier in Iceland, on its 8 gargantuan tyres.

Measuring 15 metres and dubbed Sleipnir after Odin's eight-legged horse from Norse mythology, the glacier bus zooms across the ice cap at speeds of up to 60 kilometres per hour.

Italian tourist Rosella Greco explains the appeal of visiting the glacier.

The glacier has been around for well over two millennia.

It rises to 1,450 metres at its highest point.

However, rising temperatures are thawing the ice and the glacier's expanse has been reducing each year.

Glaciologist Thorsteinn Thorsteinsson is concerned about Langjokull's future.
