what to see
The Surroundings
Fjaðrárgljúfur
Fjaðrárgljúfur is a 100 meter deep and 2 km long canyon. You can walk along the canyon and enjoy the waterfalls and the beautiful bedrocks. This site is a must-see for photography lovers and those chasing waterfalls in southeast Iceland!
Eldgjá
Eldgjá is a volcano and a canyon where the northern part is. It’s a part of the Vatnajökull National Park. Situated in the highlands you need a 4WD to go there. The eruption of Eldgjá in 939 produced the largest flood basalt of all time. The canyon is around 40 km long.
Laki or Lakagigar
In the highlands between the Vatnajökull Glacier and Mýrdalsjökull glacier is a volcanic fissure called Laki or Lakagigar. The eruption in 1783 produced one of the world’s largest mixed eruptions in recorded history. Situated in the highlands you need a 4WD to go there. The craters are about 25 km long and are today regarded as a globally unique phenomenon and were declared a protected natural monument in 1971.
Dverghamrar
A short stopover is recommended at Dverghamrar (direct translation would be Dwarf rocks). Dverghamrar is a peculiar, beautiful formation of columnar basalt. The cliffs are hexagonal basalt columns, with cube-joined basalt on top. According to Icelandic folklore, the cliffs are home to both dwarfs and elves, resulting in the site’s name.
Skaftafell
Every hiker’s dream is Skaftafell. Surrounded by the largest mountains in Iceland, black sand, glaciers, and the Icelandic birch forest of Skaftafell, it offers various trails and routes. It was once a major farm but now a cornerstone in the Vatnajökull National Park. It’s accessible all year round.
Ingólfshöfði
The story says that Ingolfur Arnarson, the first settler of Iceland, originally landed in cape Ingólfshöfði. It is known for many types of birds that choose to breed there, such as puffins and skua. A local family company offers guided tours to the cape.
Fjallsárlón
Fjallsárlón is one of the many lagoons that the glacier has formed in the past centuries. At Fjallsárlón is a small visitor center and if you like, you can take a tour with a local company that offers you boat tours between the floating icebergs that calve from the edge of the glacier.
Jökulsárlón
One of the best know places in Iceland is Jökulsárlón. Like other glacier lagoons in the area, it starts to develop because of the melting of glaciers. It has increased fourfold over the past 50 years. Jökulsárlón has been used as a location in many movies, music videos, and advertisements. At the lagoon, you can choose between many companies that offer great services for tours on the lagoon, by motorboats and kayaks. By spending some time there, it is likely you can see seals lying at one of the floating icebergs.
Heinaberg
Heinaberg is a hidden pearl that is a part of Vatnajökull National Park. There you find a glacial lagoon where you can go kayaking between the icebergs and many hiking trails. In the area live many reindeer and if you are lucky, you might see some of them.
Hoffell
Hoffell is another area that is characterized by an outlet glacier that has formed a glacial lagoon in the past decades. In Hoffell you find naturally heated hot tubs and a small visitor center at the farm, both run by the family at the farm. Hoffell has been part of the Vatnajökull National Park since 2008.
Lónsöræfi/Stafafell
Lónsöræfi/Stafafell is a wilderness area characterized by varied colorful geological formations. To get there we recommend contacting the local guides that offer tours on one of the super jeeps. A day tour is recommended but you can easily spend a few days in this remote and rough landscape.

Vatnajokull is at the core of the famous Vatnajokull National Park, which is now listed on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites. To be listed on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites, the respective area needs to be “considered of outstanding value to humanity”, either for culture or nature.
