How can I sense very high temperatures with Arduino?

I've seen many temperature sensors, but the highest temperature they go up to is 125 degrees C (257 degrees F). I want to reach higher temperatures than that. I'm thinking about rigging up a closed loop sensor for my soldering iron (for a convenient LCD display), but I can't find out how to sense the temperature of the tip due to the higher operating temperature than most sensors.
