Vatnajokull Glacier

Reviewed By szapa11 - Barcelona, Spain

Walked through the Falljökull glacier (Vatnajokull) guided by Melrakki Adventures, what a nice experience! You must take a guide to go there, otherwise it's too dangerous. We got the chance to see a nice blue ice cave too. With Oddur the experience was great! Very recommendable!

Snaefellsjokull National Park & Glacier

Reviewed By Margo7850p

As many other things in Iceland, this place is very special and very beautiful. This beautiful place is one of my favourite places in the whole country. Spectacular trails, make sure to allocate good chunk of time to explore the shoreline. Dramatic coastline, waves pounding on rocks and cliff faces, not too many tourists. It's such a beautiful and magical place. Great place for traveling and photography purpose. Stunning beauty. Mother nature at her best.

The nature of Iceland is so majestic that anywhere you point the camera you will have the best and most scenic photos. The Myrdalsjokull glacier is one of these amazing spots. Vik village and its surroundings are among my favourite regions in the country.

Worth the drive up the top, especially on sunny days, for great views of Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach and the sea stacks which are directly to the west of the promontory.
