Beautiful view of the Sjaftafellsjökull, but we also have a fantastic view of the highest mountain in Iceland, the Hvannadalshnúkur, which rises majestically above the Skaftafellsjökull.

From this vantage point you have a great view of Skaftafellsjökull. But beware, it is very rocky there.

A good and, since it's easily accessible, very popular vantage point. There's enough space for everyone, so you can take a break here (although it's hardly worth it after such a short hike). The photo frame for documenting the changes in the glacier tongue over time is interesting.
