This might be your first glacier outlet encounter in Iceland! You can easily walk from the parking lot to the base of the glacier on your own, about 10-15 minutes. Enjoy from the viewing area or walk down to the base and edge of the lake. The volcanic ash on this glacier makes it unique. Please do not go on the glacier without a trained guide.
GLACIER HIKE: If you are interested in a tour like glacier hiking or ice climbing you can book with Arctic Adventures, and you can use code KYANASUE for a discount on your tour. They also offer ice climbing tours for the more adventurous folks!
