What to expect

First, you will meet your guide in the Sólheimajökull parking lot and get all the necessary equipment for the hike: crampons, ice axes, harnesses, and helmets. Then you will hike for about 15 minutes to the ice itself to get the blood flowing and warm-up for the rest hike. Arriving at the glacier your guide will explain to you how to put on the crampons, a traction device out of steel which is attached to your hiking boots and they will give an explanation about safety and a few important rules for the tour.

Sólheimajökull is part of the Mýrdalsjökull Glacier, the largest glacier in the south of Iceland, close to the infamous Eyjafjallajökull glacier. During the glacier walk, you will be exploring breathtaking ice formations and moulins while learning how glaciers are formed and how they constantly change.

The most breathtaking feature you will see during your tour will undoubtedly be the naturally formed ice cave. You will be able to walk inside this dazzling structure to see the fantastic blue ice found within. Remember to bring your camera along on this tour; you will surely want to capture this moment on film.

Lace-up your hiking boots and get ready for an incredible journey up and inside a glacier with this fantastic Ice Caving and Glacier Hiking tour in Skaftafell Nature Reserve.
