We got up early and joined a guided tour to hike up to the glacier. We were given some gear - rain coats, hats gloves, sturdy boots and crampons (spikes you wear on your boots for the ice)We were then bundled into a bus and driven up to the starting point.
It took us an hour hike to get to the bottom of the glacier, we had a little rest and then put on our crampons and hit the ice.
The next 5 hours consisted of us hiking to as high as we could get on the ice going through caves and at one point climbing up some rope into a cave.
It was an amazing experiencing but also a tiring one, well worth it. Many amazing views and to see something like that which will probably be gone in the next 100 years was truly unforgettable.
