Sólheimajökull Glacier Hike

We'll meet in Sólheimajökull at the arranged time and get equipped with necessary gear before setting off on our glacier hike. We will walk for about 15 minutes to reach the Sólheimajökull glacier, part of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, one of the largest glaciers in Iceland.

The hike will last approximately 60 to 90 minutes. During this time, we will observe surface cracks and the glacier mills, which are waterfalls formed in the ice. We will also learn about the appearance of volcanic ash on the glacier.

As you traverse this rocky landscape, the glacier's connection to the Katla volcano creates a unique environment reminiscent of a science fiction movie.

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