Description

Experience the thrill of exploring a living glacier, surrounded by blue ice, sweeping ridges and volcanic landscapes shaped by centuries of movement.

Participants who do not want to ride can choose a no-fly place and remain with the group. Five edited photographs per person are included, so the experience is documented without requiring guests to handle phones around technical equipment.
