We will go for a drive along the South coast of Iceland and make our way to Europe´s largest glacier Vatnajökull is. There we will explore the wonders of Vatnajökull, including Jökulsárlón, Svínafellsjökull, and Skaftafell National Park. Don´t miss an opportunity to witness the true force of nature.
As we drive along Iceland’s epic South Coast, we will visit Iceland’s most beautiful natural attractions. Vatnajökull is the largest ice cap in Iceland, covering more than 8 percent of the country. In total Vatnajökull covers 8,100 km2 (3,100 sq mi) which is about the size of Delaware!
Travel along the scenic south coast and admire views of black sand beaches and dramatic rock formations before arriving at the extraordinary Glacier Lagoon. Marvel at a landscape comprising crystal clear water and floating icebergs as you explore the area.
As we arrive at Vatnajökull National Park you’ll start to feel the true force of nature, which becomes apparent when we reach the large glacial lake Jökulsárlón on the south-east corner of Vatnajökull National Park. The lagoon developed after the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier started receding around the 1930s. The lagoon has grown since then at varying rates due to the melting of the glaciers.
We’ll also explore other wonders of Vatnajökull National Park. Including the Diamond Beach, Fjallsárjökull, and Skaftafell National Park.
Don’t miss an opportunity to witness the true force of nature.
