This is a comprehensive glacier tour, where you’ll learn about these massive natural phenomena from your guide and be provided with all the necessary equipment to get some exercise in full comfort and safety.  

This tour is for anyone looking to experience one of the natural wonders of the earth. You’ll meet your guide in the Sólheimajökull parking lot and then make your way to the ice itself, a brisk 30-minute walk to get the blood flowing. (The glacier was once closer to the lot, but warming weather and the glacier's own movement has caused it to recede into the distance.) 

Sólheimajökull is a part of Mýrdalsjökull, one of the biggest glaciers in Europe. Once you reach the ice, you’ll be given plenty of time to marvel at the eerie silence and feeling of isolation, as if you and your fellow hikers are alone in a vast, empty world of ice and snow. You’ll view millennia-old blue ice, created when oxygen bubbles are trapped in the snow and compressed into ice by the enormous weight of the glacier pressing down upon it. You’ll be able to gaze deep into a glacier moulin, a vertical shaft like a well, which can go all the way to the bottom of the glacier. What’s down there? The ice cap sits on top of the mighty Katla volcano, one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Iceland. On a clear day, you may also be able to see Eyjafjallajökull, another glacier to the east which famously brought European air traffic to a halt in 2010 when its eruption filled the sky with fire and ash.

索尔黑马冰川（Sólheimajökull）是冰岛第四大冰川米尔达斯冰川（Mýrdalsjökull）的冰舌。它被称为“冰与火的冰川”，这是由于冰岛的每一个冰川下都有火山，而火山喷发在冰川上留下了大量的火山灰。索尔黑马冰川下面是活火山卡特拉，上次喷发时间为1918年。

​您需要在索尔黑马停车场集合，领取冰川徒步设备。然后步行约15分钟到达冰川边缘。向导将向您解释如何将冰爪套在鞋上，并且介绍相关安全须知。

您将在冰川上停留 60 到 90 分钟，看到冰褶、裂缝、冰崖等结构。向导将详细介绍冰川的历史，并讲解冰川的形成过程，以及全球变暖如何加剧着冰川的融化。
