Grab your hiking boots and get ready, because you’re going on an expedition to Falljökull glacier in Skaftafell, Iceland.
On this comprehensive glacier tour, you’ll learn the basics of glacier hiking and rope work, and your guide will teach you everything you need to know about the massive natural phenomena on which you’ll be hiking. You will be provided with all the necessary equipment and get to practice beforehand in a comfortable and safe environment.
This tour is for anyone seeking to experience one of the natural wonders of the world. Falljökull is part of Skaftafell, the highest mountain range in Iceland. The country’s highest peak, Hvannadalshnjúkur, marks the very top of this glacial giant which in was featured in movies and TV shows, such as Game of Thrones and Oblivion.
Once you reach the icecap, you’ll have plenty of time to marvel at the glacier and take in the lonesome howl of the deserted frosty wilderness. You’ll view massive blocks of millennia-old ice, created when oxygen bubbles are trapped in the snow and compressed by the enormous weight of the glacier; you’ll be able to gaze deep into a glacier moulin, a vertical shaft that reaches all the way to the bottom of the glacier.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to witness the lunar ice formations and crevasses of the awe-inspiring Falljökull glacier.
