Two glaciers in one day, and one of them is a glacier most visitors never see! While other tours stick to the standard route on Falljökull, this hike takes you across it to reach Virkisjökull (''Fortress Glacier''), a remote, secluded glacier hidden from view. You'll spend 3.5 to 4 hours on the ice, visiting a quiet glacier valley framed by towering ice formations, dramatic icefalls, and striking basalt columns, with sweeping views of Öræfajökull, Iceland's highest peak. It's the longer, wilder, more remote alternative to a standard Skaftafell glacier hike, built for travellers who want to leave the crowds behind.
