🏔️ "The peaks appeared in the middle of the clouds like outlines of mighty giants. Overall, we might not have had the nicest views at the top, but we enjoyed a lot of fast-changing landscapes. And somehow, for me, Iceland is even more attractive when it is so mighty and dramatic.” - Icelandic Mountain Guides, Andrea Fiocca.

Our recent Snæfellsjökull summit brought fast-changing weather, fleeting views, and the kind of drama only Iceland can serve up. From full whiteouts to sudden windows of beauty, this was a climb through myth and mist. And this is why we have our expertly trained guides.

From crampons to core memories, this is what happened when our adventurer of the week, Shriya, joined us on the glacier👉 here's how it went:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“𝗜𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗯. 𝗜𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 ⛏️🥾 I did the Glacier Hike; ‘Only The Brave’, and it was one of the
best experiences of my life. The guides were absolutely amazing throughout the hike. They went above and beyond to make sure we have the best time. This was my first glacier hike ever and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They accommodated all our requests, showed us some really cool glacier spots, shared some funny stories and most importantly, they proactively made sure we were all safe and feeling good throughout the journey.
Thank you so much, Przemek and Fie. You guys are doing an amazing job. This day will be one of my core memories."
