Recommended equipment : Crampons and ice axe in the absence of snow. In the winter season it becomes dangerous because crevasses close. Without glacier experience you can rent a group guide at the base of the glacier for a hundred euros.

Best months : June to September.

How to get there : Along the Ring Road from reykjavik counterclockwise, head to the town of Vìk ì Myrdal and the famous black beach. Just before the beach, take the dirt road number 221 (also passable with two-wheel drive). Following this path you arrive in front of the glacial tongue.

Visits : It is possible to climb independently at any time of the day but basic experience of mountaineering on the glacier is necessary: Progression with crampons and ice axe and possibly tied in preserves. However, guides that provide the equipment and ensure safety are currently bookable.
