Solheimajokull Ice Climbing & Glacier Hike

At the designated time, we will meet at the glacier parking lot to begin the ice climbing and hiking experience on the Sólheimajökull glacier.

After introductions, we will start a 30-minute hike to the glacier, during which we will share interesting facts about the ice formations.

Upon reaching the foot of Sólheimajökull, we will equip you with the necessary gear and explain the essentials of ice climbing. We will then climb the walls and crevasses of the glacier.

The ice cap we will ascend sits atop the Katla volcano, one of Iceland's largest and most active craters. On clear days, you might see Eyjafjallajökull, known for its 2010 eruption that disrupted European air traffic.

After ice climbing, we will return to the meeting point, completing the activity approximately 4 hours after it begins.
