"Throughout the week, we had been thinking about our glacier hike. 🧊 🥾 It was something many people had been looking forward to. We soon found out that because of the weather, we would need to head out on our hike after dinner! 🌖 After obtaining our ice axes, crampons, and harnesses, we left for the mountain. The mountain is an “active” volcano 🌋 , with a glacier situated on top. Everyone was thrilled that we got to see the most amazing falls and landscapes. We’re glad we got to do the hike – especially a midnight one!"
