What to expect
Sólheimajökull glacier parking lot
Once you’ll meet with your guide, you’ll be introduced to the activity you’ll experience shortly after. After checking in your guide will inspect all your boots, if they don’t match our safety standard for ice climbing, you’ll be asked to rent climbing boots at a nearby company (without proper boots, you won’t be able to climb!). Then it’s gear up time. You’ll be shown how to wear harness, helmet and how to walk safely holding ice axes and crampons. From the parking lot there is a 20 minutes walk to the front of the glacier where you’ll be introduced to crampons, how to wear them and how to walk. Then it’s glacier time!! Following a straight single line you’ll follow your guide through the terminal area of the glacier until the plateau, where your guide will find the best climbing spot according to the group fitness and experience. Here you’ll spend most of the glacier experience, climbing on a moulin or the wall of a crevasse. Once the group is satisfied with the climbing experience your guide will walk you back to the starting point where he’ll collect all the gear and check you out, after an amazing glacier adventure.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
