A 4-hour glacier hike on crampons on Svinafellsjokull Glacier, part of the great Vatnajokull Glacier in Skaftafell National Park.
This is a moderate glacier tour in the majestic surroundings of Svinafellsjokull. The glacier is hemmed in by some of Iceland’s most spectacular peaks. We climb the Svinafellsjokull Glacier tongue up to the deep glacier valley between the summits of Hvannadalshnukur and Hrutsfjall. We will traverse zones of different glacial formations where huge water cauldrons, deep crevasses and strangely shaped ridges and other ice formations await our discovery.
Meeting point: Icelandic Mountain Guides Sales Lodge in Skaftafell (next to the National Park Visitor Center) 15 min. prior to departure.
Bring warm clothing, rain gear, hiking boots and lunch.
