Чем заняться в Skaftafell

Вероятно, из-за летнего сезона айсберги не были такими впечатляющими, как ожидалось, что вызвало небольшое разочарование. Однако персонал был замечательным, кофе и шоколад можно было пить и есть бесплатно. Мы спешили и не успели пообедать, поэтому я съел две шоколадки, за что очень благодарен.

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!

A striking visual impact: Glaciers are not purely white, but rather interwoven with serene and profound glacial blue and the black textures branded by volcanic ash, making them desolate and magnificent. Down-to-earth yet magical physical sensations: The crunching sound of crampons gripping the ice surface is exceptionally clear. Holding an ice axe and walking among ice crevices and ridges, every step is filled with a genuine sense of adventure. Awe and regret for nature: Witnessing firsthand the noticeable recession of the glacier's edge due to climate warming, beyond the shock, one feels all the more deeply the greatness and fragility of nature. 

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.
