Summer visited us early here in Iceland. With record-breaking temperatures, we got a taste of July in May ☀️.

The glaciers glistened under clear blue skies 🏔, the green moss and lupine leaves burst into colour 🌱, and the contrast of white ice 🧊, black volcanic rock 🪨, reminded us why this island never stops surprising us.

Here's to more days like these! 🤩

We’re saying goodbye to the smooth blue winter ice and shifting into the season of crusty white glacier ice. It might look rougher, but it opens up way more ground for us to explore safely with our guests!😁⛏️🏔

Every great climb starts with a good eye. 🤓

Our guide, Kish out on the glacier, scouting and reading the ice—matching the right line for the right time. 👌

Ice conditions are always changing, and part of the magic is choosing a route that feels just right for the day and the climber.🧗‍♂️⛏️

Whether it’s your first time or you’re chasing a new challenge, we offer guided experiences that are personal, supportive, and unforgettable.

If you’ve joined us before and captured moments from your climb, we’d love to see them—tag us or share your shots. It’s always a treat to see the day from your perspective. 🩵

If you're heading a bit further east after an adventure with us, there are a few quiet gems worth checking out—Eystrahorn is one of them. ⛰️
Just past Hvalnes, this mountain stands out with its jagged ridges and moody coastline views. 🌊

It’s a quick stop right off the Ring Road, perfect for a walk, a photo, or just a moment to take in the rugged landscape.

We’re always happy to share suggestions like this if you're extending your trip east—just ask.

Save this 🔖 for your trip planning to Iceland, read our blog articles (ice-guardians.com), and follow us for more.

The latest intrusion has begun, with an eruption expected soon, please stay away from the area until the authorities know more.

In the meantime enjoy some live we**am footage at mbl.is, visir.is, ruv.is

❗️MAGMA INTRUSION HAS STARTED ❗️

🇬🇧 1. April 2025: Magma intrusion has started close to Grindavík.

The town of Grindavík and the area around are being evacuated and are CLOSED. Respect the commands, closures and stay away from the area while the area is being assessed.

The effects are localized and have not caused any problems regarding Keflavík airport.

❗️KVIKUHLAUP ER HAFIÐ❗️

🇮🇸 1. apríl 2025: Kvikuhlaup er hafið við Sundhnúksgígaröðina.

Verið er að rýma Grindavík og svæðið í kring, þetta svæði er LOKAÐ. Vinsamlegast virðið lokanirnar og haldið ykkur frá svæðinu meðan verið er að meta aðstæður.

Áhrifin eru staðbundin og hafa ekki valdið neinum vandræðum á Keflavíkurflugvelli.

Glacier ice isn’t frozen water—it was never liquid water to begin with! 🤔
It starts as snow, compressing over time, flakes changing into grains, and eventually into a solid mass of interlocking ice crystals.

A true mineral rock, shaping landscapes for millennia. ❄️🏔️

Ever wonder why glaciers crack? 🤔❄️🧊

As they move, stress causes the surface to split, forming deep crevasses. These icy cracks aren’t just beautiful—they help scientists track glacier flow, melting rates, and climate change in real time!🏔

You can learn about these and more glacier features on our full day quality experiences ✨️

In summer, rugged, crunchy ice dominates the glacier, shaped by melt, refreeze, and volcanic ash. 💛
As winter arrives, the landscape transforms into a world of smooth, glassy blue ice, untouched by direct sunlight.💙

☀ Summer – Textured ice, deep crevasses, and constantly shifting formations.
❄ Winter – Crystal-clear ice, deep blue hues, and hidden ice caves.

No matter the season, Vatnajökull is always changing, always awe-inspiring. Which side of the glacier will you explore?!
