Totally worth visiting and taking a guided tour of the glacier. You'll spend all day up there, they provide all the gear you need, and you'll come down cold, wet and exhausted but it's one of the most unique experiences I've had. Be aware too that whatever you bring with you (ex. cameras) should be in a pretty well-sealed bag as it'll get wet otherwise. You squeeze through lots of tight spaces rubbing right up against the ice but definitely do bring a camera because loads of cool shots to be had.
