Skaftafell National Park
About
Skaftafell National Park is one of the must see destinations in Iceland. Skaftafell is a beautiful mountainous region in the south of Iceland on the southern edge of the mighty Vatnajökull Glacier. The old Skaftafell National park is nearly 5.000 km2 but is since 2008 the epicenter of the largest National Park in Europe, Vatnajökull National Park, covering 12.000 km2.
The area is an amazing place to view the great contrasts between active volcanoes, mighty glaciers, powerful glacier rivers and endless flat sandy plains. The park is the birth place of Icelandic Mountain Guides. It is where we began running glacier tours in 1994, helping people enjoy the extreme nature of the park in a safe, environmentally friendly and enjoyable manner.
