Glacier Explorer - a half day glacier hiking tour
Available May 15th - September 1st
Our world-renowned “Glacier Explorer” half-day option takes you
to Vatnajökull Glacier’s best-kept secret; the Fjallsjökull glacier and the
magnificent glacier lagoon it crashes into. We will meet at 9:45 a.m. at the
Glacier Guide-Fjallsjökull sign on the Ring Road.
After a walk along the magnificent shores of this seldom
visited lagoon, we will arrive at the Fjallsjökull glacier where we gear up on
crampons. With your guide leading the way you will soon be exploring the
dramatic terrain, walking through a wonderland of towering pinnacles and
brilliantly blue ice.
You will enjoy vast, sweeping, panoramic views of the
surrounding mountains and the amazing crevasse system as well as the steep ice
fall high up on the glacier. The trip will provide you with plenty of photo
opportunities and the chance to gain a deep understanding of this magnificent
glacier, how it is formed and how it continues to change shape every day.
A visit to Fjallsjökull will certainly be one of your most
memorable experiences while in Iceland...just check out the pictures!
