Worth agreeing on before you meet

Glacier Safety

Never walk on a glacier without a certified guide and proper equipment. Crevasses are hidden and deadly. All glacier tours in Iceland use qualified guides with rescue training.

Leave No Trace

Iceland's landscape is extraordinarily fragile. Never step on moss (it takes decades to regrow), don't stack rocks, don't fly drones without permits, and pack out all rubbish.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Jökulsárlón travel guide.
