5 days different tours. - We did 5 days with Southcoast Adventure from walking on glacier, hiking in the glacier, Glacier lagoon, different hiking tours in the remote outback and different valleys. and visiting Westman Island for its volcanic history. For each activity we had a different guide, who were all very good and interesting. Don't be surprised about the expenses, but it was worthwhile. We could not have done it on our own.Their equipment is superb.

Walking on a glacier for the first time ever! - After being assisted to get our full equipment by the joyfull team members of South Coast in the large yellow bus on the parking (shoes, ice crampons, picket, harnass), off we (14) went towards the glacier through the gravel/ash. Arriving at the bottom of the glacier, our guide explained us how to put on the ice crampons underneath our shoes and how we will have to walk on ice. What followed was close to extra ordinary, as we went up the icy hills of the glacier, getting clarifications from our expert geologist guide, having splendid views, both on the ice we were walking and next to us, as well as the ice and mountaints surronding us. We will not quickly forget this wonderfull experience, realized with great spririt and humor by the guide, but always in a professional and supportive way. A big thanks to Kish, Adam and all the others!
