The Experience
From the moment the skids leave the ground, the perspective shifts. This flight is designed to take you from the city’s edge to the high-altitude silence of the nearest ice caps. It is a journey through Iceland’s rawest elements where the dark, jagged lines of volcanic rock meet the clean, white expanse of the glacier. Whether viewing the snow-covered peaks from above or stepping out for a remote landing, the scale of the landscape is a powerful reminder of the nature of the North.
The Details
Departing from Reykjavík, this expedition targets the Þórisjökull glacier and the mountains just beyond the city’s reach. We navigate past the vertical cliffs of Hvalfjörður and the elusive Glymur Waterfall before heading toward the ice. The flight also traces the skyline of the Skjaldbreiður volcano and the Þingvellir rift valley, allowing you to see the fracture in the earth where the tectonic plates continue their slow divide.
At A Glance
• Aerial views of the Þórisjökull glacier.
• Remote landing at a scenic location determined by the day’s weather.
• Sightings of Glymur Waterfall, Whale Fjord, and the Þingvellir continental rift.
