    Back once again at my favourite glacier - Sólheimajökull! After almost a year to the day from the first video shot out here, I made the trip back to showcase what has changed and to go a little further and explore some of the deeper reaches of this impressive chunk of ice on Iceland’s spectacular south coast.
    Enjoy!

    OMG! I want to go glacier hiking!! I went in the cave when I was there! But I want to go through those trenches. Do the tours go through those trenches?

      Currently we use the crevasses as our main route up the glacier, usually possible only in winter time. We hope this crevasse trail sticks around for the next few months - come on by and check it out!

    Hi there ...visiting iceland for 10days this August...can you help with the sim cards ..which telecom provides good data pack and a good network across the island

    • @VividIceland
      @VividIceland  Před 2 lety

      I use Nova myself, but there is also another company called Siminn which also provides cell phone service here. Both companies offer virtually the same services for the same price, but I think Siminn may have slightly better coverage than Nova. Having said that though, most of the well travelled areas of the country are well covered by cell phone service, it's only when you head inland that service drops in and out.
      Check out: nova.is or siminn.is for more information!

      @@VividIceland thank you ...another query ..I have booked a camper..but not extra insurance .they say we can add insurance while taking the delivery..mostly the travel is on ring road .planning to enter westfjords for a day ...do you think in extras Tyre and gravel insurance are enough or we should go for something else to..

      @@rohanbhadoria860 Tough to say as I've never rented a car here - but I think it's definitely wise to take the tyre and gravel insurance as there can be some roads in the Westfjords that are only gravel - just for peace of mind. August usually has good weather so you won't need to worry about serious storms/winds.
