Sandfellsjökull Glacier Outlet Mapping Expedition

We invite you to go beyond the ordinary and immerse yourself in the vital work of glacier mapping.  Sandfellsjökull is not a glacier outlet many spend time on.  In fact, it's quite hidden in the highlands of Iceland.  But you'll get the rare opportunity to find your way there with an experienced local and provide others with a dynamic insight into this illusive area!

 

Special Notes: Due to the Scientific nature of this tour, group sizes are limited to ensure each participant receives personalized guidance and training.  Katla Geopark reserves the right to make changes to the plan based on weather and safety dynamics (IE, Switching days, to dead ice mapping or different glacier edge mapping, etc).

 

Join us on this rare opportunity to become a Katla Geopark Civilian Scientist, mapping Sandfellsjökull Glacier and contributing to vital climate research. This is more than just an adventure... It's a chance to make a meaningful impact while experiencing one of Iceland's most stunning and dynamic natural wonders!
