About Skaftafellsjökull
Skaftafellsjökull is an outlet glacier of Vatnajökull that flows directly into the Skaftafell Nature Reserve. A well-marked 2km trail leads from the Skaftafell visitor centre directly to the glacier snout, where you can touch the ice wall and see the deep blue crevasses up close. The glacier has retreated significantly in recent decades. Guided glacier hikes depart regularly from the visitor centre.
