Iceland Itineraries: From 1 Weekend to 1 Month (Updated 2025)

"I explored Skaftafell in Vatnajökull National Park for glacier hikes and shorter walks like the route to Svartifoss — the waterfall framed by long black basalt columns is highly photogenic, and guided glacier or ice‑cave trips are recommended for safety." - Matthew Kepnes
