Arctic Adventures
Experience ice caving and glacier hiking at Vatnajokull glacier, departing from Skaftafell. This is a grand tour on Europe’s largest glacier.
- Visit Vatnajokull – Europe’s largest glacier
- Explore the phenomenon of an ice cave
- Hike over an adventurous landscape of rugged ice
Your tour starts in Skaftafell before heading to the Falljökull glacier tongue. Gear up and get safety instructions from your skilled guide before setting foot on the ice. Start by hiking to the ice cave while soaking up the magnificent scenery and spend approximately 30 minutes exploring. Afterwards, hike back over the glacier through an adventurous landscape of rugged ice.
Ice caves are only accessible during winter when the temperature drops well below zero – the water from the rivers that run underneath the glacier freezes and leaves this phenomena to explore. Each year new caves are formed in different locations
