Skaftafell

Local nameSkaftafell
LocationVatnajökull National Park, Iceland

A breathtaking nature reserve somewhat reminiscent of alpine landscape. The climate is relatively mild which renders the park well-accessible.

The vast range of hiking trails makes this area an ideal destination for those who like outdoor activities. Also, Skaftafell is a popular destination during the winter time not only due to lesser crowds but also for its beautiful icy appearance: the glaciers turn from white to blue, creating a stunning contrast from what you can see in summer.
