  • Description

Sólheimajökull is a glacier tongue that makes part of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier. The glacier is 158 kilometers from the capital city of Reykjavík, and it is part of the South Coast route. Sólheimajökull is famous for being a popular spot for guided glacier walks, and it is a great place to visit during your trip to Iceland. The landscape is full of ice ridges and impressive sinkholes. But the most beautiful feature of Sólheimajökull apart from its vast size is the bright blueish colors you will find in it.

Referring to geological evidence, this is one of the most monitored glaciers in the world. It is said that since the mid-1990s, the glacier has been shrinking up to 50 meters each year. The lagoon you see today has been the result of the glacier’s melting, a clear result of climate change and global warming. Don’t miss this fantastic spot in Iceland. Its magnitude and beauty will leave you astonished. The glacier is always moving and changing due to the changes in the climate, so if you have the opportunity to go now, don’t think about it twice.
