Glacier hiking and ice climbing are a perfect way to get up close and personal with the Solheimajokull glacier that formed over 500 years ago.

Solheimajokull glacier is a glacial tongue from the larger Myrdalsjokull glacier and is situated next to the famous Eyjafjallajokull glacier volcano, surrounded by black sand expanses and jagged mountains.

Your guide will give you glacier equipment, including ice axes and crampons on-site, and a thorough safety briefing.

Remember to dress warmly with layers and waterproof clothing, as you'll be venturing out onto the ice. Bring gloves for the climbing to protect your hands from getting scratched by the hard ice.

From the parking lot, there's a 30-minute hike to the glacier's edge, where you will have plenty of time to marvel at the gigantic mass of ice. Don't worry, as you walk on the glacier, your crampons will give you safe footing on the slippery ice.

Once on the glacier, your guide will provide you with climbing gear and assist you with your harness, crampons, ice axe, and helmet. If you have never done ice climbing before, your experienced guide will teach you everything you need to know.

You'll learn how to ascend the vertical ice shafts that lead to the heart of the glacier, known as the moulin, with the assistance of a climbing rope, harness, and your ice axe.

The glacier covers the Katla volcano, which you may be able to see during the tour.

At the end of the tour, you'll return to the meeting point at the Solheimajokull glacier parking lot, ready to continue your adventures in Iceland or head home.
