Description
Here is your chance to visit a glacier and not just any glacier, this
trip will take you to the frozen glacial tongue that is Sólheimajökull.
It is a magnificent phenomenon, a rugged, raw and ever changing hub of
ancient frozen water. We will explore the crevasse riddled outlet
glacier with its amazing ice formations, sink holes and jagged ridges
accompanied by an experienced glacier guide. Along the way we will find
an ice wall on the glacier and try our hand at ice climbing. We will
provide you with all the tools you need: ice axes, crampons and safety
lines, making sure you are very safe as you brave the heights. As we
drive back to Reykjavik we will stop at the beautiful Skógafoss
waterfall.
On this trip you get to see and do what most of the population will only
dream about and very few ever try. Why not be adventurous and explore
the amazing crawling glacier?
