I went with Paulina from Between Continents for a glacier hike on Solheimajokill glacier in July last year. We met at the parking lot and got prepped for the hike. The walk to the glacier is 20 minutes. We learnt how to put the crampons on,got iceaxes,helmets and harnesses and went for an hour and a half glacier walk. we had plenty of stops to take pictures and learned about the glacier too. at some point Paulina set a rope and we could have a look into one of the holes on the glacier. Super funWe zijn met een groep op de gletser gaan wandelen. Paulina was een uitstekende gids,ze gaf een zeer nauwkeurige uitleg. Ze had oog voor iedereen en was zeer behulpzaam. Een echte aanrader.
