This is definitely the most worthwhile trip in Iceland besides seeing the Northern Lights.
1. First, the only drawback: the check-in location is not very accurate. There are 4 cabins on site, and a campsite next to it, making it easy to miss. The correct check-in location coordinates are 64.016131, -16.968153.
2. Remember to pay the parking fee.
The following are all advantages:
3. You can rent waterproof hiking boots on site for 1500 ISK. They are clean and comfortable. You really can just rent them.
4. They strictly enforce standard safe mountaineering procedures, with a guide in front and one at the rear, strictly enforced almost from beginning to end. You definitely don't have to worry about falling behind, super reassuring.
5. The package includes: helmet, climbing harness, crampons.
6. Along the way, you get: *1 ice cave, *2 glacier crevasses, *1 small vertical ice cave exploration with climbing ropes (the climbing ropes are super heavy!!)
7. They will explain the formation of various landforms along the way and make jokes. It is a very relaxing trip.
8. You really climb until you can't climb any further on the glacier (a lot of cracks) before turning back. You are right there in the glacier!
9. The glacier is really blue!
10. There is a gas station & affordable restaurant near the campsite, so you can refuel before leaving.
This trip is definitely worth recommending. Be sure to schedule a day to climb a glacier when you come to Iceland, and climb for a long time, it's really super beautiful!!!!
