    Hiking

    The Skaftafellsjökull is an impressive glacier and is part of the larger Vatnajökull National Park. This glacier is special because of its breathtaking views and accessibility to visitors who want to catch a glimpse of the dynamic natural forces that shape the Icelandic landscape. Hiking trails take adventurers close to the icy facade, where one can admire the power and beauty of nature.
