What To Expect

Skaftafell is a beautiful nature reserve in Southeast Iceland, filled with spectacular natural wonders. You will explore one of these wonders on a glacier outlet of Vatnajökull. Once you arrive at the spot, your guide will provide you with all the necessary gear – helmet, crampons, harness, and ice axe . Once geared up, you will begin your journey towards the glacier. Falljökull is a glacier outlet from Vatnajökull, and its name translates to “The Falling Glacier.” The icefall in the area is quite rare on Earth, and the further you go, the more breathtaking the ice formations become. These include crevasses, deep cracks in the glacier's surface, and moulins—vertical shafts in the ice formed by melting water finding its way into fissures and cracks. In wintertime, it is often possible to peek into small ice tunnels and capture the stunning blue heart of the ice. You will spend about 4 hours on the glacier itself, with your guide leading you through the most thrilling and challenging parts of the glacier. Along the way, you will also get the chance to use proper glacier equipment, including harnesses and ropes, to navigate more challenging terrain, enhancing your sense of adventure.
