Why it's on Icebreaker
Snowmobiling on Vatnajökull
Vatnajökull covers more than 8% of Iceland and makes the other south-coast glaciers look modest. Glacier Journey's base camp is beside Hotel Smyrlabjörg in Hornafjörður, 34 km east of Jökulsárlón and 46 km west of Höfn. There you get overalls, a helmet and a briefing, then a lift up onto the ice. The snowmobiles are easy to operate even for first-timers; the driver needs a licence, the passenger doesn't. Halfway round there is a stop for photos and glacier stories, and on a clear day you can see the east and south highlands. It is oddly calming: ten minutes in, everything is white. About three hours, March to October. The same outfit runs a super jeep tour to 1,000 metres for those who would rather not drive.
From the Icebreaker app, curated with The Reykjavík Grapevine.
