Interesting places and scenery near Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon, South Iceland

The beautiful Skaftafell

A wilderness to some and an oasis to others, the beautiful Skaftafell is an area of Vatnajökull National Park that offers epic landscapes, favourable weather conditions and a range of hiking trails to keep even the most dedicated of outdoors enthusiasts happy. Short trails lead visitors on an easy journey to the glorious Svartifoss waterfall which cascades down 12 metres of unique black basalt cliffs and has the reputation of being the crowning glory of Skaftafell.

Hiking the Svínafellsjökull Glacier

For many visitors, a trip to Iceland is not complete without paying a visit to Europe’s largest glacier. Svínafellsjökull is a tongue of the monumental Vatnajökull Glacier, stretching right to the verdant region of Skaftafell. Tours are generally available from March through to December and involve fun and easy trekking across the jagged ridges, blue crevasses and many glacial tongues of this otherworldly ice cap.

Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon

If you want to see a beach that glitters like diamonds, the magical southeast of Iceland will make your wish come true. Jökulsárlón is one of Mother Nature’s greatest triumphs; a glacial lagoon and the deepest natural lake in Iceland, waters broken only by fish, seals and glowing chunks of ice. Head down to the seashore to see more of this ice dotted amongst the black sands, polished to sparkling perfection by the tides and creating the impression of a beach littered with diamonds, shimmering under the sun.
