Glacier Encounter
The Glacier Encounter is a classic three-hour tour, offering the perfect introduction to the glaciers of Vatnajökull National Park. You'll journey to the stunning Falljökull outlet glacier in a modified 4x4 vehicle, conserving energy for a more immersive glacier experience. As a responsible glacier guiding company, they offset all of their tours' carbon emissions.
Upon reaching the glacier's edge, they'll equip you with crampons and an ice axe, ready to explore fascinating ice features like moulins, crevasses, moraines, and dirt cones. Your expert guide will also share insights about the local Öræfi region, home to Iceland's highest peak and several volcanoes.
The glacier's surface and colors shift dramatically throughout the year, with summer offering breathtaking views of towering mountains and the black sand beaches stretching toward the distant ocean.
Duration: 3 hours
Seasonally Offered - This experience is available from April 1st to September 30th.
