Why would anyone spend eight days on Europe’s largest glacier?! Because they can 🤔 And they will definitely do it again. “Being able to successfully cross and conquer the biggest icecap in Europe is indescribable, it’s something that you will never forget. A life-changing experience, one where it’s you, your gear and the elements.” - Jón, our expert expedition guide.

Vatnajökull crossing is not just something you step into and have success; this expedition is something extraordinary. It’s extremely challenging BUT equally rewarding. It keeps pulling you. You need to plan, think and be critical about everything you do and bring with you.

This expedition has everything an adventurous person seeks. There are challenges on the way, and you will be tested, both physically and mentally. It could be your trip of a lifetime or preparation for something even greater! If this is the experience you seek, contact us to get more information about the next Vatnajokull Crossing.

A big congratulations to all the guides who recently passed the intensive 10-day WMI CPR and WMI Wilderness First Responder certification course.
We are proud to provide you with the highest quality training and first aid education. Since 2015, we have worked with NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) to provide the best first-aid education in Reykjavík, Iceland.
Our educational courses are designed for outdoor professionals, to provide them with the tools to make critical medical and evacuation decisions in remote locations.

This course is required for our guides who work on our longer trekking tours, and those who do Glacier Guiding 2 and Ski Guiding 2. Successful course completion earns you a WMI Adult & Child CPR certification & a WMI Wilderness First Responder certification.

For our outdoor enthusiasts and future guides, check out the courses on our website for the next available dates: https://www.mountainguides.is/courses

*These two courses are held three times a year - at the beginning of the year, in the spring and again in the fall. In addition, once a year we offer a course called WFA (Wilderness First Aid). This course is tailored to the needs of outdoorsy people and those working on day trips.

Blue ice season is calling! 🧊🔵 As summer winds down, a magical transformation occurs on the glacier: The summer's white crust gives way to the awe-inspiring hues of winter's blue ice. This phenomenon results from the compression of snow layers and the release of tiny air bubbles, rendering the ice translucent and allowing us to marvel at its brilliant shades of blue. 🌬️❄️

"If you are looking for more adventure head to Skaftafell, once its own national park but now part of the massive 5,460-square-mile Vatnajökull National Park, which contains the largest glacier in Europe. Here, you can scale 6,920-foot Hvannadalshnúkur, the highest point in the country and a serious big day of glacial travel (ski or splitboard it for a real treat). Unless you have your own gear and glacial travel training, you will want to hire guides. Call on the professional and friendly services of Icelandic Mountain Guides for the trip, which is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that provides views out across the cold North Atlantic to the south and into the vast icy interior of the island to the north. The guides can also take you on easier excursions including rambles on and hikes above Sólheimajökull, an easy-to-access, and, alas, fast-melting glacier not too far from Reykjavík. " - in
