This is a tour that combines two of Iceland's natural highlights,
hot springs and glaciers. It is only a 45 min. drive from Reykjavík to
the edge of the Hengill geothermal area where we take a 2 - 3 hour walk.
Located at the foot of the old volcanic cone of Hengill, this hiking
trail passes a series of beautiful hot springs en route to the
Reykjadalur valley where one can enjoy a bath in a beautifull warm
stream. We then continue in our
car for an hour and 45 minutes towards the great Mýrdalsjökull glacier,
one of the largest in Iceland. Here we put on crampons and grab ice
axes and set out to discover a wonderland of ice sculptures, ridges and
the deep crevasses which hide the intense blue colour of the glacier
ice. This tour tour offers both magnificent nature and scenery.
