Start your adventure at the Icelandic Mountain Guides Base Camp by Sólheimajökull glacier. Here, your guide will provide you with all the necessary equipment—ice axe, crampons, harness, and helmet—and explain how to use them safely.

From Base Camp, you’ll walk toward the glacier and step onto the ice. The hike takes you across dramatic formations, winding ridges, and deep crevasses. Along the way, your guide will share insights into how glaciers form and change, and point out fascinating details in the ice and surrounding landscape.

The highlight of the tour is a visit to a recently discovered blue ice cave. Formed naturally by summer meltwater, the cave reveals shimmering crystal walls and striking shades of blue. You’ll have time to explore inside and take photos while your guide explains how these caves appear and transform each season.

After experiencing the cave, you’ll hike back across the glacier, enjoying more views of this ever-changing frozen world before returning to Base Camp where the tour ends.
