‘ We felt very safe and confident we were in good hands while climbing. Thanks to Evangelos and Hyperborea our glacier hike/ice climb was my favorite part of our whole Iceland trip. ’

The oldest glacier ice that has been found in Sólheimajökull is believed to be around 4 to 600 years old !

What to expect?

Once we all gather at Sólheimajökull parking lot, we will take a 15-min to the spectacular glacier’s tongue where we will do a safety briefing instruction and help you gear up.

Once we arrive at the glacier, we will cross crevasses and moulins until we find a nice crevase or moulin to start our climbing.

We will go over the climbing techniques and explain how you should move on the ice again, so you canget the best out of the experience.We can explore different locations during the day so you have the opportunity to try out different levels of difficulty.

After 3 hours approximately on the ice we will head back to the parking lot full of great memories andphotos and we will enjoy a warm cup of coffee.

I can ́t wait to introduce you to my world.
