Learn more about Glaciers as I explore and learn from a Arctic Adventures Guide. While a snow storm hits on our hike with near white out conditions we have fun learning, exploringand even trying our hand at ice climbing! Get the facts on glaciers here. The Sólheimajökull is an outlet glacier of the much larger Myrdalsjokull Ice Cap. The glacier has been receding since its peak in 1930. A lagoon has formed where there was once a glacial ice and it continues to withdraw dramatically up the valley each year. The glacier is a popular tourist destination being the closest glacier to the capital of Iceland: Reykjavík. The glacier sits atop the Katla caldera/volcano. All the glacier facts you need to know.
