Meet your guide at the glacier parking lot and gear up with crampons, a helmet, and a harness. Following a short walk to the glacier’s edge, step onto the ice and begin your guided hike into the heart of Sólheimajökull.
As you embark on your glacier hike across the glacier’s surface, encounter deep crevasses, moulins (ice holes), ridges, and dramatic ice formations. Your guide will explain how glaciers are formed, how they’re changing, and the powerful natural forces that continue to shape them.
