Go beyond a standard walk and conquer the ice! This adventure is your chance to experience the raw power of Sólheimajökull. Combine a thrilling guided hike with the unique challenge of ice climbing - no prior experience necessary. Choose to meet us at the glacier parking lot or opt for pickup from Reykjavík to reach this ever-changing glacial tongue, shaped by time and nature’s raw power.

Upon arrival, your certified glacier guide will provide a thorough safety briefing and fit you with all necessary professional gear: crampons, ice axes, helmets, and harnesses. Next, we hike through a moss-covered valley to access the glacier from above, with stunning panoramic views of Sólheimajökull, the glacier lagoon, and surrounding area visible before we step onto the ice. Then, explore the otherworldly glacial terrain, with stunning ice formations, moulins, blue ice, and jagged ridges.

You will be taught how to use your ice axe and the technique for ascending a natural ice wall. This is a safe, encouraging, and unique opportunity to try ice climbing
