This natural paradise is home to some of the most spectacular landscapes in the country where glaciers meet verdant forests and waterfalls cascade down mountainsides – you’ll be mesmerised by these contrasting backdrops.
The park’s showstoppers include the immense Vatnajökull glacier and the Svartifoss waterfall, framed by dark basalt columns that give it the nickname ‘Black Falls’. It’s a mesmerising sight that has even inspired architectural designs in Iceland’s capital.
