Experience of a lifetime on top of the Solheimajokull Glacier in Iceland

Published on Nov, 2024

Every citizen of rhe world within this reasonable travel distance from Reykavik should visit Solheimajokull Glacier to understand the severity of our planetary climate emergency. You see a magnificent and stark reminder of how our actions are playing out in the form of this retreating glacier. You can see this from the safety of a viewing area. But if you are up for it, walking up on it is the experience of a lifetime. And for that you need a guide. This was my first experience as an older but reasonably fit (not super-fit) woman. Evan was the perfect guide for me and our small friend group of varying degrees of fitness and age. He is a deeply caring naturalized citizen of Iceland who has all the technical skills and experience, with the patience, kindness and sense of fun that elevates an adventure. You can't go wrong with Evan.

Fantastic experience!

Amazing experience, highly recommend

This was an amazing, once in a lifetime experience! Evangelos took my 3 friends and I ice climbing at the sólheimajökull glacier. It was a private and personalized tour, something you don't get with the larger tour companies. We went to a few different climbing spots, increasing in difficulty as we became more confident on the glacier. It truly was an awesome experience, I highly recommend booking with Hyperborea Tours!
