Sólheimajökull is an outlet glacier of Mýrdalsjökull—the fourth largest ice cap in Iceland—and the favorite spot for a glacier hike for those based in Reykjavík. Approximately 8 km long and 2 km wide, it offers visitors stunning views of the South Coast. On tours, visitors have the opportunity to explore crevasses, ridges, formations, and electric blue and ash black colorations while equipped with helmets, axes, and crampons.
