The experience

About this tour

Mýrdalsjökull glacier is renowned as one of Iceland's most iconic landmarks, and it's the source of the captivating Kötlujökull glacier. This glacier, named after the formidable Icelandic Volcano Katla, conceals the mighty volcano beneath its icy embrace. Over time, this colossal ice mass has slowly descended from the volcanic mountain, giving rise to some of Iceland's most remarkable natural ice caves.

Join us on an exhilarating Super Jeep tour, and immerse yourself in the splendors of this extraordinary natural wonder. As soon as you step inside, you'll understand why it's a must-see!
