What to expect

Our tour starts at Falljökull car park, located a twenty-minute walk away from the glacier terminus. After getting geared up and a short walk through a mossy valley surrounded by green mountains, we arrive at our destination, Falljökull. At the glacier terminus, we put on our equipment and your guide will explain all about how to use the provided glacier gear. As we start hiking on the glacier, we will quickly pass through a dramatic crevasse field that separates the lower part of the glacier from the upper one, which is followed by an endless icefall. When we get closer to the icefall, your true experience starts. With no fixed trails, your guide will lead you through a maze of seracs, ice arches, moulins, crystal-clear water streams, blue water pools, etc. As it is a private tour, you can enjoy the scenery at your own pace, away from the crowds, having enough time to take photos, learn about the geology of the place, and much more. When we get high up in the icefall, we will have a short lunch break and after that, we will start slowly making our way down. Your whole experience will be captured in a pack of at least 10 professional photos delivered to you after your tour.
