Glacier Beyond: Remote Two-Glacier Hike from Skaftafell

Country: Iceland

Description

Leave the crowds behind on our newest original glacier hike! This extended 5.5-hour adventure takes you across two outlet glaciers of the mighty Vatnajökull. 

Starting from the Arctic Adventures Hut in Skaftafell, you'll board our 4×4 bus for a scenic drive to the glacier's edge. You'll cross Falljökull, the "Falling Glacier," to reach the hidden Virkisjökull, the secluded "Fortress Glacier" where most of the hike unfolds. Far from the standard glacier routes, you'll walk through a quiet world of towering ice formations, dramatic icefalls, and striking basalt columns. This is a glacier almost to yourself!

Built for travelers ready to go beyond the beaten path, this is the wilder, more secluded alternative to a standard glacier hike.

Highlights:
  • Hike on 2 glaciers, the quiet Virkisjökull (''Fortress Glacier'') and the popular Falljökull (''Falling Glacier'')
  • Escape the crowds on a hidden, off-the-beaten-track route
  • Witness dramatic icefalls and fascinating black basalt columns 
  • Stand beneath dramatic icefalls from Iceland's highest peak
