Why take this tour?

This tour is for anyone looking to experience one of the earth's natural wonders. You'll meet your guide in the Sólheimajökull parking lot and then go to the ice, enjoying a brisk 30-minute walk to get your blood flowing. (The glacier was once closer to the lot, but warming weather and its movement have caused it to recede into the distance.) Sólheimajökull is a part of Mýrdalsjökull, one of the biggest glaciers in Europe, and it was featured in detail in the 2012 documentary "Chasing Ice," an award-winning investigation of climate change.
