AFP Photo - Giant metallic 'steed' traverses Iceland's threatened glacier -
.
Instead of a slow slog on snowshoes, a giant bus sweeps passengers at up to 60 kilometres 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 15 metres (50-foot) long and fitted with massive tyres for traction across the powder snow of western Iceland's vast Langjokull ice cap.
.
With its 850 horsepower engine, the tour bus -- resembling something out of a science-fiction movie -- smoothly traverses the icy terrain on eight wheels, each two metres in diameter.
.
It has been named "Sleipnir" after the mythical eight-legged horse ridden by the Norse god Odin.
