Hit the boardwalks before 9am to dodge cruise ship crowds and actually hear the ice crack. Spend three hours exploring the steel loops, but book the Minitrekking tour to strap on crampons; walking the glacier surface is worth every cent. Skip the overpriced gourmet cruises—the standard boat safari gets you close enough to feel the chill. End your trek with a shot of whisky poured over ancient ice. Seriously, don't miss the crampon experience.
