Glacier Exploration - Hike and Climb
Try out ice climbing in a hard ice glacier!
Ice Climbing in a glacier is one of the best adventures that you can have. The glacier where it takes place is a hard ice glacier outlet that is full of features for learning and exploring.
The activity starts by meeting on location in the parking and walking 15 minutes to the base of the glacier, where we learn about the gear and how to walk on the glacier. Then we go on it and learn how it's formed and it's features while looking for areas that we can use to climb.
- Walk on the Glacier: Learn how to use mountaineering gear to be used on the glacier.
- Descend into Moulains and Crevasses: stare into the abyss and delve into it. Do it on your own or be safely lowered by one of our guides.
- Climb on Blue Ice: One of the most beautiful sights in Iceland is the blue ice inside the glacier features. You can climb on it with ice axes and crampons while safely attached to a rope.
- Small groups: Have a private experience with a maximum guide to client ratio of 1 to 4.
We only work with certified and experienced guides to deliver the best experience possible. They will care about your safety and making you feel comfortable while joining on a beautiful adventure.
It does not matter if you are a beginner that has never stepped on ice or an experienced mountaineer. Thanks to the semi-private nature of the trips and the guide's skill, we adapt the experience so you can have a great time out!
