Tim Emmett and Dawn Glanc feature in this Icelandic ice-climbing archive, where blue ice replaces the rock usually associated with a climbing wall. The camera makes the texture of the frozen surface especially vivid.
Put the glacier in the right part of Iceland
The original account named Sólheimajökull but placed it in the northern fjords. Sólheimajökull is in southern Iceland. An old thickness figure also should not be treated as a measurement valid across a changing glacier.
The terrain is part of the story
Ice formations can alter between visits, so a filmed line is not a permanent route description. Appreciate the movement and cinematography while leaving access and technical decisions to qualified local assessment. The archived ages of the climbers are omitted as current biographical information.
