Full description

This hike is for anyone who wants to experience hiking on the beautiful glacier of Mýrdalsjökull. Located underneath the ice cap is one of the largest Volcanoes in Iceland, Katla which erupted last in 1918. You will meet your guide at the Sólheimajökull parking lot where you will receive all the necessary safety gear and hike towards the glacier. There you will get a safety briefing as well as a tutorial on how to attach the crampons to your high ankle boots. Explore the impermanent glacier formations as well as crevasses and moulins. During the hike, you will see the beautiful views of the area, surrounding mountains as well as some volcanic ash on the glacier.

Your guide will be happy to explain these natural phenomena and answer your questions. If you have never been on a glacier, your skilled guide will make sure you will have a safe and enjoyable experience.

Absolutely loved this hike! Tina was an insanely good tour guide and was so funny. It was definitely a very easy hike, it goes uphill but very slowly. Tina made sure safety was number one priority and gave us great information about the glaciers. If I had to be stuck on glacier with anyone in the world it would be Tina!

This was an absolutely amazing activity. Our family of four (two adults, two kids ages 12 and 15) found this to be one of our most memorable activities in Iceland. Our guide Andrej was honestly the best - friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and above all ensured we had a safe and enjoyable experience. We got to spend a lot of time on the glacier and explore various areas. All the safety gear was provided and check-in was efficient. I would highly recommend this three hour tour with Troll Expeditions to everyone - but it does require some level of fitness and endurance.

We had so much fun! My partner said he thought it would be cool but didn't realize it would be life changing. It really felt like we were on a different world! My only regret is that we didn't want to come down yet at the end. If we did it again I'd probably do the combo hike and ice climb to get even more or of the experience, but I've already recommended it without reservations to others I know traveling to the area.
