Description: Here is your chance to visit a glacier and not just any glacier. This trip will take you to the frozen glacial tongue that is Sólheimajökull glacier. It is a magnificent phenomenon, a rugged, raw and ever changing hub of ancient frozen water. We will explore the crevasse riddled outlet glacier with its amazing ice formations, sinkholes and jagged ridges. Along the way we will find an ice wall on the glacier and try our hands at ice climbing. We will provide you with all the tools you need: ice axes, crampons and safety lines. On our return journey to Reykjavík we will stop at the beautiful waterfall Skógafoss. Now is the time to be adventurous and explore a crawling glacier! It’s certainly one of those “When in Iceland” things that you should not miss.

Description: The Snæfellsjökull glacier is one of the most picturesque mountains in Iceland, rising up 1450 meters from the middle of the Snæfellsnes peninsula this famous volcano is clearly visible more than 100 km away. The most famous literature about Snæfellsjökull is undoubtedly Jules Verne’s novel “Journey to the center of the Earth” where the entrance to the center was through a caldera at the top it.

Everything about this trip is an amazing adventure; even the drive to the start of the hike offers breathtaking views only surpassed by the vistas from the slopes and the peak. On clear days the whole Westfjord peninsula is visible with its amazing mountains and beaches, a sight never forgotten. This is one of the very best glacier hikes in the world!

Haut de 1450 mètres, ce stratovolcan est visible depuis Reykjavík. De nombreux écrivains et poètes ont fait l’éloge de cet ancien volcan, tel que Jules Verne qui le cite dans son ouvrage “Voyage au centre de la terre”. Lors de la randonnée, vous serez guidés jusqu’au sommet, pour admirer la vue imprenable sur la péninsule de Vestfjord et les rives glacées du Groenland! Cette marche est sportive, mais reste néanmoins accessible aux plus néophytes d’entre vous.

Bei diesem Trip geht es zu dem Gletscher Snæfellsjökull, welcher einer der malerischsten Berge in Island ist. In dem Roman „Die Reise zum Mittelpunkt der Erde“ von Jules Verne befindet sich der Zugang zum Zentrum der Erde dort. Der ganze Trip ist ein fantastisches Abenteuer. An klaren Tagen sieht man hier die gesamte Halbinsel der Westfjorde Islands oder sogar Grönland über den Atlantischen Ozean hinweg.

Details:

Included: Transport from Reykjavík and glacier hike. Bring with you: Warm outdoor clothing, waterproof jacket and pants, headwear and gloves. Good hiking shoes are recommended and packed lunch. Duration of the trip: 13 hours with transfer.
