Skaftafell

Skaftafell is a nature reserve within the larger Vatnajökull glacier National Park. Here you’ll find stunning glaciers, interspersed with lush areas, waterfalls and ice caves.

Skaftafell Nature Reserve is found in the southeast corner of Iceland. From 1967 and up until 2008 it was its own national park, but in 2008 a new and much larger national park was established, Vatnajökull National Park, that includes all of the former Skaftafell National Park but also a large portion of the eastern part of Iceland.
