Glacier Explorer in Iceland
Glacier Hiking only a short distance from Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Our world-renowned ââ?¬Å?Glacier Explorerââ?¬Â? half-day option takes you to VatnajÃ?¶kull Glacierââ?¬â?¢s best-kept secret; the FjallsjÃ?¶kull glacier and the magnificent glacier lagoon it crashes into. We will meet at 9:45 a.m. at the Glacier Guide-FjallsjÃ?¶kull sign on the Ring Road.
After a walk along the magnificent shores of this seldom visited lagoon, we will arrive at the Fjallsj�¶kull glacier where we gear up on crampons. With your guide leading the way you will soon be exploring the dramatic terrain, walking through a wonderland of towering pinnacles and brilliantly blue ice.
You will enjoy vast, sweeping, panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the amazing crevasse system as well as the steep ice fall high up on the glacier. The trip will provide you with plenty of photo opportunities and the chance to gain a deep understanding of this magnificent glacier, how it is formed and how it continues to change shape every day.
A visit to Fjallsj�¶kull will certainly be one of your most memorable experiences while in Iceland...just check out the pictures!
