South coast and glacier tour in Iceland

For some time already my dream was to walk on a glacier. It became a reality in Iceland with Reykjavik Sightseeing and Icelandic Mountain Guides. I was invited to take their South coast and glacier tour. So let’s start from the very beginning. We started our trip from Reykjavik. In order to reach our incredible destinations we made our way through farming lands and passed small villages. The views of pastures with beautiful Icelandic horses were just spectacular. The first stop was the rugged Sólheimajökull Glacier located some 160 kilometres and a bit more than 2 hours driving distance from Reykjavik. Sólheimajökull is an outlet glacier that flows from the main almost 1500 metres high Mýrdalsjökull glacier where the Katla Volcano rests. Walking on the glacier wearing special crampons on my shoes and exploring the amazing glacier myself was a very special experience. Read more about walking on the glacier here.
