We stopped here during our South Shore Adventure tour with RE and were more than pleased. I had never seen a glacier in real life and it was such an impressive and majestic site! It is definitely worth the short hike!
Loved everything. You are surrounded by white everything and it is a magical and exciting experience. What a fabulous thing to have been able to do and if you get chance, do.
We went with Arcanum and the trip was great. Winter is apparently a better/longer trip but more subject to the whims of the weather. Try to get on a tour with the least amount of people possible to get the most out of it!
We didn't hike on the glacier but we did visit an ice cave accessed from one tongue of the glacier and the intensity of the blue ice above and all around us was phenomenal. The smoothness of the ice and the waves formed in it combined with the quiet of being within the cave made for a highlight of our trip.
Awesome glacier and you can actually walk ,you find it before Vik ,so beautiful and not well known.If you like glaciers go fo it the view is majestic
We made a quick stop at the "edge" of the glacier. Our guide was a bit of a downer droning on and on about global warming and the potential eruption of the nearby volcano that will destroy everything. But we ditched him and enjoyed the scenery.
We took a guided walk with Iceland Rovers and it was beautiful. We experienced the extremes in weather conditions and found a new appreciation for the country's slogan of "If you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes!" Our guide Vidar said that the colors are more vibrant and more blue in the winter - glad we came when we did. It was amazing.
We went hiking on this glacier In January and it's probably my favourite thing that I did during my whole trip. It's not everyday that you go hiking on a giant block of ice. I'd definitely recommend to take the guided tour, as we saw way more than we would have seen otherwise and the guides were really knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. Don't be stupid enough to forget your gloves like I did though, as you'll FREEZE!!
we took the arcanum tour for Myrdalsjokull Glacier. unfortunately it was extremely foggy and rainy and the tour had to be delayed. We went up to the top in almost 0 visibility but was worth it. we only took the tour for the glacier and didnt do the one with the beach and DC 3 plane! would recommend taking the afternoon tour to avoid weather related problems.
