Apresentação geral
Vatnajökull and the glacier lagoons
Icemakers, iceberg lagoons and dark mountains dominate the southeast between Skaftafell and Höfn.
Jökulsárlón, Diamond Beach and Skaftafell give the most telling landmarks of Vatnajökull and glacial lagoons. Together, they form a destination where mountain reliefs, shores and lakes, coastline and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

World Heritage
Parc national du Vatnajökull – la nature dynamique du feu et de la glace
To Vatnajökull, glaciers, volcanoes, lava fields and sandy plains tell Iceland in motion. The eruptions under the ice, the ice break-ups and the blue tongues of the glacier create a changing landscape, to be addressed with the weather conditions of the day and the open routes.
Remarkable location
Grímsvötn
Grímsvötn is a volcano hidden under the cap of the Vatnajökull, known for its subglacial eruptions and sudden floods that can cause. It is not seen as an ordinary summit: its interest is mainly due to the understanding of the link between ice, volcanic heat and Icelandic debacle landscapes.
Place indismissible
Jökulsárlón
Jökulsárlón is a lagoon where the icebergs detached from the Breiðamerkurjökull drift towards the ocean. The landscape changes every hour according to wind, tide and ice, with seals regularly visible.
Nature and landscape
Diamond Beach
