Itinerary
Only two hours from Reykjavík you find the Eyjafjallajokull massif, and just a little further east the Solheimajokull glacier, a tongue extends down from its mother glacier, Myrdalsjokull, Iceland’s fourth largest. On this tour you will go on a safe and easy walk on crampons up onto the ice field where you will discover a wonderland of ice sculptures, ridges and deep crevasses, and learn about the glacier and the effect of the Eyjafjallajokull eruption in 2010 on the glacier and its surroundings. Our experienced mountain guides will teach you how to use the basic ice equipment necessary for this tour. On the way back there’s a stop at the picturesque waterfalls of Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss. An Iceland glacier walk is a great way to experience nature and a tour on the Sólheimajökull glacier is an ideal way to spend the day! This is a great, family-friendly, way to experience the Icelandic glaciers.
