We will meet at Freysnes Gas Station where you have the chance to use the bathroom and buy snacks, you’ll follow us for a short drive to a glacier car park, where we’ll get you equipped with the appropriate safety gear.
From the car park we’ll take a short walk on a trail to the front of the glacier where we’ll put on our equipment and go through safety instructions. Once on the glacier we’ll walk through easy terrain to get you familiar with all the necessary techniques to progress throughout the trip.
Once familiar and confident with the equipment and their use, we’ll begin to move through steeper and more adventurous terrain beyond the crowds. Here, you will see your guide at work, fixing anchors, fixing ropes and cutting steps to make your journey through these areas very safe.
Throughout the day you’ll get many opportunities to take photos, learn about the natural history of Vatnajökull, Europe’s most voluminous ice cap. More specifically, we love to talk about geology, glaciology, recent glacier changes and what the future looks like in a world of climate change.
