Ever wonder where icebergs are born?🧊

A calving face is where glaciers meet water, breaking off massive chunks of ice that float away as icebergs. 🌊

At Jökulsárlón, Iceland’s famous glacier lagoon, these icebergs create a stunning, ever-changing landscape. It’s a breathtaking reminder of the power of nature—and the delicate balance it depends on. 🌎

Learn more about glacier formations like these on our website ice-guardians.com.

Exploring the ice like never before! ❄️⛏️🥾

Here’s what one of our guests said about their glacier experience:

"We did an incredible 7 hour day with Kish and Ice Guardians, exploring parts of the glacier far from others. We climbed, rappelled, squeezed through crevasses, and even ventured into moulins. The glacier was stunning, and our guide made it unforgettable. Highly recommend this once-in-a-lifetime adventure!"

At Ice Guardians Iceland, we specialise in taking you deep onto the glacier, far from the crowds.

Today’s shot of a shark tooth-shaped serac 🦈🧊

Captured on Falljökull glacier from its steep icefall, this impressive ice tower stands tall against the glacier forelands. 🗻

Seracs, like this one, form when glacier ice fractures and stacks into towering blocks due to the immense pressure and movement of the ice. It’s a striking example of nature’s forces at work, shaping Iceland’s landscapes in real-time. ❄️

Falljökull, known as 'the falling glacier,' descends from Iceland’s highest volcano Öræfajökull, with it's highest point standing at 2,110m. 🌋

As it flows down through a steep valley, the glacier’s rapid movement creates stunning ice formations, ❄️ giving it it's dramatic name.

Tag your adventure buddy to witness this natural wonder up close! It's an experience like no other—truly humbling to be just a speck in this vast landscape. 🏔️✨
