Sólheimajökull Glacier Hike

We'll meet in Sólheimajökull at the arranged time and get kitted out with equipment before setting off on our glacier hike. 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, where we will observe the cracks in the surface and the glacier mills, which are waterfalls formed in the ice. The tour will also cover the intriguing characteristic of volcanic ash appearing on the glacier.
