We did the Blue Ice Experience with Icelandic Mountain Guides. Quick 20 minute 4x4 to base of the glacier and then given instrductions on technique for walking on the glacier with crampons and ice pick safety.. Our guide Marc supported our group with care and encouragement....and humour... and we gained confidence after a few minutes on the ice. Marc offered really interesting insights on how glaciers form, behave and why they look the way they do. It was a truly beautiful and exhilarating experience and Marc made sure everyone felt safe and enjoyed a remarkable opportunity. A great and memorable tour.
