Svínafellsjökull Glacier

Svínafellsjökull, which simply means “Svínafell Glacier” in Icelandic, is one of the many glacier tongues that form part of Europe's largest ice cap, the Vatnajökull, covering 11 % of Iceland's surface. This impressive glacier is 8 kilometers long and 800 metres wide. A short walk takes you close to this majestic glacier and its lake dotted with small icebergs.

The glacier lake, modest in size and located on one side of the glacier, allows you to observe the glacier at close range, much closer than the other Vatnajökull glacier tongues. It's a unique and unforgettable experience, both magnificent and awe-inspiring.
