From Bangarara

Our day tour was delayed by a blow out but then we were off to Sólheimajökull for our walk.

My clothing for the day had been carefully planned out as I feel the cold, so I was fitted out with: thermal vest and leggings, thin fleece, trackie bottoms, thick fleece, waterproof trousers, waterproof outer jacket... then socks, waterproof socks, leather walking boots, fleece hat and thermal waterproof gloves. This turned out to be just right for the glacier.

When we arrived at the car park facing the glacier we were then fitted out with a harness, helmet, crampons and ice picks. The crampons only took a short while to get used to, taking on a more 'John Wayne' walk and we set out on to the glacier. After the initial hail flurry that attacked us, the weather was generally fine and we could see a good stretch uncovered by cloud.

Next we tried our hands at ice-climbing, with my volunteering to go first. Armed with two picks and my trust crampons (and thankfully a sturdy rope secured and held by our guide Ingó.) I took my first swing. It was easier than I expected to get a good hold with the picks, the difficulties lay in getting a decent footing, but fairly quickly I was up near where the rope was tethered and it was time to lean back and walk back down the ice face.

We each had a turn and then took a further walk on the glacier before turning back to the bus for a very welcome sandwich and drink.

Ingó was a great guide, giving us information along the drive about the volcanic eruptions, introducing us to a little Icelandic music and making sure we were safe on the glacier. He also made sure we had some great chocolate cookies while we were up there!

Do not forget your camera!

Golden Circle Safari Tours, Sightseeing & an Activity of Your Choice!

The Golden Circle is Iceland´s most famous sightseeing route. On it you will visit the Þingvellir National Park, the Geysir Hot Springs and Gullfoss Waterfall. Here is your chance see these amazing places in style on one of our Super Jeeps and go off road while you are at it! AND that is not all.. you can also choose an activity!

This tour allows visitors to get in touch with some of Icelands most famous and exciting natural phenomena. Our first stop is the Þingvellir National Park 40 min due east of the city. Þingvellir is one of Iceland's most historic sites as it was there that Icelands's first parliament was founded in the year 930 AD. Here you will also see for yourself one of only two tectonic rift valleys in the worlds, created as the continental plates slowly drift. From there we head along gravel tracks toward the world-renowned geothermal area around the Geysir hot spring. This is the one spouting hot spring that all such phenomena on Earth are named after and there you will see a variety of geothermal pools and erupting hot springs, surely one of the highlights of any visit to Iceland.

From there we continue to Gullfoss ("The Golden waterfall") where your proximity to its edge is so close you can feel the refreshing spray of the glacial water on your face.

This trip is available in 4 different versions, standard jeep tour or a choice between 3 different additional activities, giving you a unique possibility to custom-make your adventure. Your activity of choice will take part at some point during this adventurous day.
