As well as the opportunity to get detailed explanations through the day of any questions you may have about glaciers and their impacts. •Even though it is not a requirement to have been on a glacier before, maybe this time you want to go further and 'do more'. •Expect to be outside all day in the wilderness ready to face wind, rain, snow, be lost in clouds and more. Icelandic nature at it's finest.
