Description
Go further into the more adventurous part of the Glacier and discover stunning ice formations on a small group tour. Travel through the beautiful surroundings in a modified 4x4.
Explore the glacier of Falljökull, an outlet from Europe's largest glacier, Vatnajökull. Travel with your guide through the beautiful surrounding area in a modified Land Rover Defender.
Climb to the base of Falljökull outlet glacier. At the edge, your guide will show you how to put on the crampons and explain the safety guidelines of hiking on a glacier.
After receiving these instructions, your glacier adventure truly begins. Travel safely through the beginning part of the glacier, and then towards the less explored part of the glacier.
Discover stunning ice formations in the higher part of the glacier as you are guided through parts fitting both the conditions of the glacier and the group.
As you reach the highest point that is safely accessible, take a short lunch break before starting the descend from the glacier. As you reach the edge of the glacier, you will jump back into the Land Rover and drive back to the Skaftafell Terminal Tour Center.
