our favorite glacier trips
About 10% of Iceland is covered by glaciers.
The main characteristic of glaciers is that they move. As a glacier glides forward at a rapid pace, its surface cracks.
Therefore no one should enter a glacier without being accompanied by an experienced glacier guide.
But when in Iceland - this is a must do do!
