Directions

Just a short detour off the main Ring Road, you'll find the incredible Sólheimajökull glacier, an outlet of the mighty Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. From the car park, it's an easy 15-minute walk to the glacier viewpoint, where you can witness the dramatic landscape of ice streaked with black volcanic ash. For the full experience, join a guided hike to safely walk on the ancient ice itself, exploring its crevasses and unique formations. It's a truly humbling and unforgettable way to connect with Iceland's raw natural power.
