Experience the raw beauty of Iceland on the Sandfellsjökull Glacier Mapping Adventure, a unique journey into one of the country’s most remote and dynamic glacial landscapes. This expedition offers an unmatched combination of hands-on scientific research and breathtaking scenery, allowing you to step into the role of a Citizen Scientist while exploring terrain that has remained largely unmonitored until recently. Trek across rugged highlands, witness the striking features of the glacier, and immerse yourself in an adventure that blends learning, discovery, and awe-inspiring natural beauty. Along the way, enjoy the thrill of exploring hidden ice formations, crevasses, and glacier-carved caves while contributing to meaningful environmental studies.

Discover the wonders of Sandfellsjökull Glacier with expert guidance and educational insights, making your adventure both fun and informative. From a scenic 4x4 drive into the highlands to a 1.5-hour hike to the rarely visited glacier outlet, you will gain firsthand knowledge of Iceland’s raw terrain. Participate in real scientific mapping, monitor river water flow, and learn about the powerful geological forces shaping the region. The experience includes a packed lunch amidst breathtaking scenery and a formal Citizen Scientist certificate, along with processed research results shared weeks after your expedition. This is more than an adventure—it’s a chance to make a lasting impact while creating memories in one of Iceland’s most stunning locations.
