About This Experience

Strap on your crampons (ice climbing shoes) and explore the ice kingdom of Vatnajökull National Park with a guided small-group hike to the glistening Vatnajökull glacier.

Your experienced guide will teach you how to use your hiking equipment and proceed to lead you on a tried-and-true path to the glacier. Look up and admire the vast scale of these white ice giants as Hvannadalshnúkur, Iceland´s highest peak, rises from the frosty fields in the distance. Wind your way past bottomless crevasses and unique ice formations while your guide shows you how this precious ever-changing landscape is invaluable to our ecosystem.
