Glaciers in Iceland

Iceland is a land of glaciers! If you're looking for a scenic, adventurous destination with plenty of nature to explore, look no further than Iceland. Located in the middle of the North Atlantic, Iceland is a volcanic island that's covered in rugged terrain - perfect for hiking and exploration. One particularly special area to visit is the glacial landscape - a beautiful landscape made up of hundreds of beautiful blue lagoons, waterfalls, and mountains that are covered in ice and snow year-round.

At Troll Expeditions, we offer a variety of tours that depart from Reykjavik that allow you to explore the beautiful Icelandic countryside at your leisure.

There are 269 named glaciers in Iceland. The biggest glacier in Iceland is Vatnajökull - it covers over 8,100 square meters! It's the largest glacier in Europe and it forms over two thirds of the country's ice caps. Under the glacier there are seven volcanoes, including 4 of the most known and active volcanoes in Iceland: Grimsvotn, Bardarbunga, Kverkfjoll, and Oraefajokull. Standing over 2000 meters tall in some places, it's an impressive sight to behold. Hiking around the icebergs of this beautiful icy landscape is a must-do activity for visitors to Iceland. If you're looking for an adventure like no other, a trip on the Vatnajökull glacier is definitely for you!

Going on a glacier alone

It is HIGHLY recommended to never go on a glacier if you do not have knowledge on how to hike on a glacier.

Glaciers are extremely dangerous, since there are moulins and crevasses in which one can easily fall into. Special safety equipment are also extremely important to have.

If you do not have any experience on glaciers, it is highly recommended to go with a certified glacier guide, who could take care of your safety throughout your time on the glacier.
