Skaftafell National Park
UNRATED
[Edit]
Overview
Skatafell National Park is just off the ring road (Route 1) between Vik and Hofn. There are lots of trails and it is home to Skatafellsjokull glacier. A good trail and an hour hiking takes you to Svartifoss waterfall. The visitor centre has interesting displays including video of the 1996 glacial burst floods (caused by a volcanic eruption under the glaciers) of Skeidararsandur which wipped out roads and bridges in the area. There is a camp ground near the visitors centre.
