Skaftafell Glacier National Park is a very large park in Iceland. Although it is not considered to be frozen everywhere when I came here, the scene here is still so beautiful and very spectacular!

We only had a few hours when our tour group stopped here so we took the mostly flat trail out to the glacial lagoon, which was pretty good. Looking at some of the other photos here I wish we had had l...
Glacier views, waterfall views, wild berries along the way and a few turf houses to admire. It is a beautiful place to hike and get your adventure fix!
I have only praise for the beauty and wonder of ALL Iceland state parks. However this one left a bitter taste after they charged me penalty for not paying parking (60euro) through the camper rental co...
Skaftafell national park is next to glacier Vatnajökull and thr landscape is beautiful I took the hike to the glacier and it was a nice walk through the trees The visitor center was good
There’s nothing quite like Iceland in the autumn. The summer greens turn into a vivid orange in a matter of weeks.

If you're in Iceland hiking a glacier is a must. It's sp special and a complete different nature experience. Walking between ice falls and cracks is scary but rewarding. Go with a guide who has the right equipement and knowledge.

Skaftafell's glacier on foot, replaced with heavy boots and crampons, seems to be walking on the shaved ice at first, some areas are completely ice, and it will not slip if you step on it.
The guide said that it is often raining here, and it is very good luck in sunny weather. Some shots of interstellar crossing are taken here.

Iceland is the westernmost country in Europe. It is located in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, close to the Arctic Circle. The area of glaciers is 8,000 square kilometers, making it the second largest island in Europe. 3/4 of the whole territory is a plateau with an altitude of 400-800 meters, of which 1/8 is covered by glaciers. There are more than 100 volcanoes, including more than 30 active volcanoes. Warner Darwins is the highest peak in the country and is 2,119 meters above sea level. Almost all the countries in Iceland are built on volcanic rocks. Most of the land cannot be reclaimed. It is the country with the most hot springs in the world. It is rich in geothermal resources, so it is called the country of ice and fire. There are many fountains, waterfalls, lakes and rushing rivers. The largest river, the Siyur Sao River, is 227 kilometers long.
Iceland is spread all over national parks and nature reserves, the most spectacular of which are the Myvatn Nature Reserve and national parks such as Tingvellir, Jiegu Salon and Skaftafell. The most famous attraction of the Skafath National Park is the Svartifoss waterfall; the Jakusha Lake in the Jeju Salon National Park is a lake formed at the bottom of the glaciers, up to 100 meters deep.

This is also a scene for a famous TV series. Many of the scenes here are quite interesting. There are some landforms, which are really like alien planets. It is worth visiting.
Skaftafell National Park covers an area of 4807 square meters and is the second largest national park in Iceland. It was established on September 5, 1967, and has been expanded twice since its completion. This is the American drama A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones, and the filming location of the Hollywood science fiction blockbuster Interstellar, so it has become a must-visit place in the minds of many tourists. If you want to experience the "Mann "Planet", it is necessary to participate in the glacier trekking project here.
I have been in the sun all the way in Iceland, and finally it started to rain when I arrived at the ice lake. I parked my car in the parking lot outside the ice lake. There you can buy amphibious vehicles (boats) for visiting the ice lake. There will be people soon. I drove a speedboat to send a large piece of thousand-year-old ice to the guide sister on the boat. The guide sister will introduce to everyone why the ice is blue (because it keeps melting and freezing, the density becomes larger and it reflects the sunlight. It looks blue), and then smash it. Everyone can taste the ice, which is quite interesting. Occasionally you can see seals in the ice lake
The park has ice caps and jagged peaks shining with sunlight, and a Laugavegurinn trail that runs through smooth volcanic rocks. To see the ice tongue in the picture, you need to hike along the trail in the national park, about half an hour one way! It is also rated as one of the ten most beautiful hiking places in the world. It is very suitable for hiking and it is simply a paradise for hikers!
