Itinerary

	We pick you up at your accommodation in Reykjavík at 08:00. Please note that it can take about 20 minutes to pick everyone up.
	The road takes us along a spectacular South coast with ash mountains, waterfalls and volcanos. The journey takes about 2 hours, making one stop midway where you can buy lunch and use a restroom.
	Before 10:45 we reach the final destination of Sólheimajökull outlet glacier. We gear up at the parking lot and start the hike to the glacier.
	We work our way through the crevassed world of ice until we find a decent spot for climbing. During the ice climbing session, you will learn the basic movement of ice climbing receiving feedback to improve your skills. We can explore different locations during the day so you have the opportunity to try out different levels of difficulty.
	Between climbing sessions, our guide will introduce you properly the glacial wonder world.
	After about 3,5 to 4 hours on the ice, we make our way back to the parking lot.
	From there we have a 15 minute drive to Skógafoss waterfall where we make a short scenic stop. The ones with some energy left can climb up to enjoy the magnificent view of the waterfall from above.
	Afterwards, we will drive back to Reykjavík aiming to be at your hotel between 19:00 and 20:00.
