The most popular tour in the book! On this Iceland day tour
you will be guided through the labyrinth of a glacier tongue extending
down from the fourth biggest glacier in Iceland.
Only
two hours from Reykjavík you find the Eyjafjallajökull massif, and just
a little further east the Sólheimajökull glacier tongue extends down
from its mother glacier, Mýrdalsjökull, Iceland’s fourth largest. This
is a safe and easy glacier walk on crampons up on to the ice field
where a wonderland of ice sculptures, ridges and deep crevasses await
your discovery.
An Iceland glacier walk is a great way to experience nature
and the Sólheimajökull glacier is an ideal way to spend the day. Our
experienced mountain guides will teach you how to use the basic
ice equipment necessary for this tour. On the way back there’s a stop
at the picturesque waterfalls of Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss.
