Description
Blue Ice Glacier Hike and Ice Climbing is for travellers who want the South Coast to feel hands-on. The experience takes place on Sólheimajökull, where blue ice, crevasses, ridges and volcanic ash patterns create one of Iceland's most accessible glacier playgrounds.
The ice climbing element adds a stronger adventure angle than a standard glacier walk. You still get the wonder of moving across the glacier, but with the extra thrill of trying climbing technique under expert guidance. It is a memorable choice if you want an active Iceland experience rather than a passive sightseeing day.
