Vatnajökull National Park

Vatnajökull national park established in 2008, covers around 14,5% of Iceland. It covers the entire Vatnajökull glacier, large areas in its vicinity and numerous municipalities. National parks are protected areas that are considered special because of their natural or historical significance. The uniqueness of Vatnajökull National Park lies mainly in the interplay between fire and ice.
Among highlights of the east are Kverkfjöll, the home of Ice and fire, the oasis Hvannalindir, Snæfell the ancient volcano, where the reindeer roam and Eyjabakkar the celebrated home of the Pink-footed Goose.
