Blue Ice - Glacial Hiking & Ice Climbing
(008291E-20)

Would you like to explore a glacier? And I mean really, really explore a glacier? This trip takes you to the frozen glacial tongue that is Solheimajokull. It is an otherworldly scene, rugged, raw and ever changing hub of ancient frozen water. Walk on the glacier and observe the spectacular surroundings. Then we find an ice wall on the glacier and try our hand at ice climbing. We will provide you with all the tools you need: ice axes, crampons and safety lines. The safety line will make sure that even though you lose your grip you will not fall to the ground. As we drive back to Reykjavik we will stop at the beautiful Skogafoss waterfall.

Difficulty: 2-3 out of 5 possible No knowledge of sport required.
Minimum: 2 passengers
Age Limit: 14 years or minimum shoe size of 35 European (for crampons)
