Geologic Formation Hiking Trail

• ©

Sólheimajökulll embodies the frozen beauty of Iceland with its vivid blue tones and mountainous backdrop. Volcanic rock covers the vast icy terrain that is scattered with peculiar ice and rock formations, ridges, and crevasses.

  Summer 2018. Drove to this glacier site on our own. Stood on a glacier! Amazing! Would take a tour though to hike on the glacier. We just wanted to see it up close and personal.
