Description
Go ice climbing on Solheimajokull Glacier on this guided day tour with transfers from Reykjavik. If you have ever wanted to try ice climbing and explore a glacier, this tour gives you the chance.
Your day begins with pickup in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. From there, you drive along the South Coast of Iceland, a region known for its natural sights.
Your first stop is Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, which drops 197 feet (60 meters) from a mountain's edge.
Next, you visit Skogafoss Waterfall.
At the base of the glacier, you meet your guides, who get you ready for the ice and explain how to stay safe.
With your equipment ready, you set out on a short hike across the glacial landscape, shaped over centuries by the movement of the ice. Above you is Myrdalsjokull Glacier, which covers the active Katla Volcano.
In recent years, a glacial lagoon has formed at the foot of Solheimajokull Glacier. On the hike, you see crevasses, ridges, tall ice walls, and moulins.
Your guide leads the way and keeps you safe as you explore the ice.
The highlight of the tour is ice climbing, and your guide finds a suitable ice wall for you to climb. The glacier is always changing, so its shapes and paths are different on every visit.
At the end of the day, you return to Reykjavik.
