Sólheimajökull Glacier Hike

We'll meet in Sólheimajökull at the arranged time and get kitted out with all the necessary equipment to start our glacier hike. Then we'll walk for about 15 minutes until we reach the Sólheimajökull glacier, part of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, one of the largest in Iceland.

Our hike will last around 60 to 90 minutes, during which we will observe the cracks in the surface and the glacier mills, which are waterfalls formed in the ice. We will also learn about the appearance of volcanic ash, a fascinating characteristic of this glacier.

As you hike across this rocky landscape, you'll experience an environment that resembles the moon. The glacier lies on the Katla volcano, with eruptions creating a unique landscape.

After our hike, we will return to the starting point.
