The Vatnajökull Glacier is the largest glacier in Europe and therefore cannot be missed. We already listed the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon in top 10, which is found within the Vatnajökull Glacier. However, for those who wish to venture a bit more from the outskirts of the glacier, Vatnajökull Glacier covers 8% of the entire surface of Iceland and 3 national parks. The fascinating ice-covered landscape covers the Hvannadalshnjúkur and Öræfajökull volcanoes, offering impressive ice formations, glacier lagoons, naturally formed ice caves and much more. Skaftafell National Park has so many spectacular walks and hikes, including ones which direct you to Svartifoss Waterfall, which is famous for this hexagon-shaped basalt columns, which appear so perfect, as if they were carved by an artisan instead of having been formed naturally. Also, one should not leave without taking a hiking tour on the glacier. You can walk upon the ice and explore the ends of the glacier. If you come between November and March, you should absolutely complete the experience with an ice cave excursion.
