The Vatnajökull Region

Unique landscape



The Vatnajökull region is located in Southeast Iceland, in the district of Höfn in Hornafjörður. If you are planning a visit to Iceland, you owe it to yourself to visit this stunning area. Here, you will find the magnificent Vatnajökull glacier, the largest icecap in the world outside the arctic regions. You will also find yourself in Europe's largest national park,  marvelling at the unspoiled nature and sweeping vistas, dominated by sparkling white glaciers, jagged grey-blue mountains and seemingly endless black sand beaches.

 

A winter visit offers another dimension. The glaciers change to a clear deep-blue, many playful seals swim and fish in the Glacier lagoon –Jökulsárlón. Herds of wild reindeer gather in the roadside valleys in the eastern part of the region. And then there is the irresistible local food! You can find diverse activities all year round only one hour's plane ride from Reykjavík, or just a morning's amazing, scenic drive.
