🤔 Ever wonder why ice caves look so different every time?

The secret lies in nature’s ever-changing factors:
 ✨ Ice thickness – Thicker ice gives deeper, richer blues.
 ☁️ Weather outside – Gloomy skies = darker caves.
 ❄️ Snow cover – More snow on the glacier means less light gets through.
 ⏰ Time of day – The angle of sunlight can transform the cave’s appearance.

Each visit to an ice cave is unique—no two moments are ever the same! Would you explore one? 💙

There are things you need to remember before going on Ice Cave & Glacier Exploration Tour 🧊❄️

This is not your average stroll.
It’s a 5-6 hour adventure through breathtaking glacier landscapes, including a 4-6 km hike over icy, uneven terrain.

You’ll need to be in good physical shape to fully enjoy this tour - your safety and enjoyment depend on it.

Our guides are here to ensure everyone has an amazing experience, but they may decide you can’t participate if you’re unprepared or struggling. Remember, by booking this tour, you’re confirming you’re fit for the challenge.

Come ready, stay safe, and make memories you’ll never forget! 💙

Think you can conquer a glacier in sneakers? Think again!

🥾Stiff boots aren’t just a fashion statement - they’re your ticket to staying steady on ice.
🦶They give you the grip you need with crampons and keep your ankles from bending in ways they definitely shouldn’t.
🥶Plus, with this cold, sneakers are basically ice-cube makers for your feet.

⚠️⚠️⚠️Don’t have proper boots? ⚠️⚠️⚠️
No problem! We’ve got rentals—just let us know beforehand, and we’ll save your toes (and your dignity).

Winter tours started on October 1st, but the ice is still evolving—it’s not as consistent as it will be in December. That’s why the caves we explore change daily, adapting to the glacier’s rhythm. 🌬️

Remember, we’re guests in Nature’s house, so we must respectfully follow her lead. Please always check your emails the day before and the day of your tour for any time changes or cancellations. We’re truly sorry for any last-minute changes, but safety is always our top priority! ❄️🙏

Ever-changing colors, glacial streams, and long summer days—soon, all of this will transform into the icy blue wonder of winter. ❄️ The patterns on the ice right now are absolutely insane!

We have been receiving numerous questions about the tragedy that occurred yesterday on the west side of Breiðamerkurjökull. We want to reassure everyone that the Ice Explorers team is safe, as we do not operate on the west side.

Additionally, we do not operate or resell summer ice cave tours. Our ice cave tours are exclusively held during the winter months.

Our thoughts are with those affected by this incident, as well as the courageous individuals involved in the rescue efforts.

😲 Did you know the color of glacier ice changes between summer and winter?

☀️ In summer, the ice often appears grey or dark due to the accumulation of volcanic ash and debris.

⛄ In winter, the ice is more vibrant and blue, with fresh snow and colder temperatures preserving the pure ice beneath.

🧘🏻‍♂️But don’t worry—our guides always manage to find those insane blue ice formations, even in the summer!

Obssesed with Glaciers

Want to know what drives someone to building a Super Jeep to comfortably navigate on top of Europe’s largest Glacier? Well, it’s quiet simple, a healthy balance between passion and obsession. For us who grew up around Glaciers, we have always had a grand fascination with scaling and navigating the vast landscapes and the adventure it brings. The most empowering moment is the first step you take on a glacier. Knowing that you’re standing nothing more than compressed snow which over 1000’s of years turned into Ice. The glaciers are the closest we can get to time travel, as everything under your feet is frozen in time. Our expert guides are taking tours during Summer and Winter, and ensure that no matter the weather you get to experience something new.
