Tour Description
This page should serve as information on our Multiday Tours! Please make sure you only book this tour here, if you wish to do it and you haven’t done so within your Multiday Booking Process.
Add this glacier hike to your tour and explore breathtaking ice formations and moulins while learning how glaciers are formed and how they constantly change. Check out a glacier outlet of either Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in Iceland, or Mýrdalsjökull, which lies above the active Katla Volcano.
After a short ride on the Tröll Bus and a 30-minute walk to the glacier, your guide will explain how to get geared up and teach you about the safest practices to walk on a glacial surface. Once you have your crampons and all necessary equipment, it’s time to head out on the ice and begin this once-in-a-lifetime adventure. The further you get, the more ice formations you will see. Crevasses, for instance, deep cracks in the surface of the glacier. Or so-called moulins, often vertical shafts in the ice which are formed by melting water flowing into fissures and cracks. In the wintertime, it might be possible to peek into small ice tunnels and capture the beautiful blue heart of the ice. You will stay about 1,5 hours on the glacier itself.
