RE: Glacier Hike Adventure! (Iceland Day 4)
Such a beautiful place, Iceland. I lived in Alaska once upon a time and we took a helicopter ride to the glaciers there and had lunch on one of them. I cannot imagine hiking one though - beautiful they are but also very treacherous (so are the mountain goats! LOL) and powerful. I remember pieces of the glacier breaking off and it sounded just like thunder, rattled my chest! Did you have to go through some classes prior to taking this expedition?
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful journey. How exciting! For sure, forever memories for you. Pictures are amazing.
Wow... The sound of it breaking sounds pretty damn scary. We didn't really need any classes. Just a simple explanation of how to walk with spikes and to walk the same path as the guide. Makes sense.
The guide also told us that he sometimes has kids and they need to be harnessed with rope so they don't go fall into a ditch as well.
