A nice stop to get up close to a glacier. Easy trails and not overly popular yet with few tour buses. However, they're building a huge parking area

More than an extraordinary excursion, this visit was a lesson in global climate change. This iceberg-filled lagoon is really the result of glacier melt. Despite 400 feet of glacier sitting below the water line, the entire body of water was once a part of this ice, the world's largest glacier.

This was amazing and I highly recommend you do some form of kayaking! Grab a lobster roll next door! Beautiful experience and you can walk across the road to diamond Beach and see the icebergs riding into the ocean!

Amazing experience hiking on the Glacier! We also saw seals in the lagoon 🦭 😍 We were lucky and we had the chance to walk in a cave inside the glacier.

Vatnajökull is a truly magnificent glacier. It was an awe-inspiring experience to ascend it and experience the vastness and grandeur of this natural wonder. Additionally, be sure to visit the iceberg lagoon, which features a multitude of floating icebergs of various sizes.

Pulled up to the glacier parking lots from the south loop highway. You can do a lot of hiking or a 20 min walk to the edge of the water to see the glaciers.

This park is very big, so I would recommend visiting some parts with a tour guide/expedition group. I saw the glaciers with my expedition group and it was very marvelous. You have got to see the glaciers before they melt even more in the future! Bucket list item crossed out for me.

Absolutely stunning experience there. Ice caves and glacier just felt like in the movie Frozen, like an ice castle. All the shades of blue are incredible, it doesn’t feel real to be honest! Amazing hike on the glacier, this is an unique arctic experience! Absolutely recommend!
