Skaftafell

It must have been the summer season, as the icebergs weren't as spectacular as I'd imagined, which was a little disappointing. However, the staff were all wonderful, and the coffee and chocolate were free to enjoy. We were in a hurry and hadn't had lunch, so I ate two chocolate bars, which I greatly appreciated.

This was a great tour. Our tour guide Rob was able to assess our group and let us hike all over the glacier because we had a longer tour (3.5 hr). He was knowledgeable about the glacier. It was incredibly beautiful.

Although the weather wasn't very good that day, the equipment provided on-site was extremely complete, and the guide was professional and reassuring! During the break, there was also free hot coffee and hot chocolate to enjoy. The overall experience was wonderful, and I highly recommend everyone to join!

Σ συγκλονιστική οπτική ένταση: Οι παγετώνες δεν είναι καθαρό λευκό, αλλά διασταυρώνονται με ένα ήρεμο, βαθύ μπλε του παγετώνου και μαύρες υφές που άφησε η τέφρα του ηφαιστείου, αποκαλύπτοντας μια έρημη αλλά υπέροχη όψη. Προσγειωμένη και μαγική αίσθηση: Ο ήχος «κრιτς» από τα κραpons που δαγκώνουν την επιφάνεια του πάγου είναι ιδιαίτερα καθαρός, ενώ με μια αξίνα πάγου στο χέρι, περπατώντας ανάμεσα σε ρωγμές και κορυφογραμμές πάγου, κάθε βήμα είναι γεμάτο από μια αληθινή αίσθηση περιπέτειας. Δέος και θλίψη για τη φύση: Βλέποντας με τα ίδια σας τα μάτια τα σημάδια της σημαντικής υποχώρησης στην άκρη του παγετώνου λόγω της κλιματικής αλλαγής, πέρα από το σοκ, νιώθετε ακόμα πιο έντονα το μεγαλείο και την ευθραυστότητα της φύσης. 

The tour guide was extremely professional, placed great emphasis on everyone's safety, and shared information and history about the glacier. I was initially worried that I wouldn't have the stamina for the 6-hour tour, but actually, after every stretch of walking, the guide would stop to share various information, which gave everyone a chance to catch their breath. The scenery is truly beautiful and well worth a visit.
