Why do you need Glacier Walking Insurance?
Walking on glaciers is considered a high risk activity, because of the ever changing landscape caused by the movement of the glacier.
As a result of this terrain and extreme environment the risks of injuries or arising accidents are high. Making sure you have personal insurance in place to fully protect yourself is highly advised, so if you need emergency care or rescuing, you have cover in place to provide you with this.
