TOUR DESCRIPTION: We begin the tour with quick 20 minute motor boat trip to Austdalsbreen (Glacier) with its 25-50m high terminal that descends into the lake from the Jostedalsbreen Icecap above. Towers of ice calving into the lake from the glacier front will captivate you after weaving around icebergs to get to this most remote and untouched area. Once the boat is safely anchored, we walk up to the front of the glacier for a short glacier hike (approx 45 mins). The Austdalsbreen (glacier) is very easy to walk on, but it is what we see while walking on the glacier that is amazing. Walking amongst the myriad of crevasses across the front of the glacier and standing atop this natural wonder will complete the experience.
