About this experience
Embark on an exhilarating journey along Iceland's South Coast and witness firsthand the profound impact of climate change on its glaciers, which are rapidly receding. Join us for a unique adventure atop Sólheimajökull, guided by licensed experts who will lead you on an unforgettable hike. This outlet glacier flows from the Mýrdalsjökull ice cap, revealing stunning views of the legendary Katla volcano beneath. No special skills are required; we provide all necessary equipment, including rental shoes for the trek. Along the way, marvel at the majestic Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, soak in the scenic beauty en route to Vík, and explore the volcanic wonders of Reynisfjara Black Beach, where dramatic basalt formations and Reynisdrangar sea stacks await under the shadow of Eyjafjallajökull volcano, weather permitting.
