What to see in Iceland

Svínafellsjökull Glacier

The Svínafellsjökull glacier is located in southeastern Iceland, within Vatnajökull National Park, one of the most impressive protected natural areas in Europe. It is one of the glacier tongues that flow from the vast Vatnajökull ice cap, the largest glacier in the country, and it stands out for its easy access and its striking combination of blue ice, rugged formations, and black volcanic mountains. Its surroundings make it a strategic base for exploring otherworldly landscapes, very close to natural icons such as the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach.

Beyond its beauty, Svínafellsjökull holds a fascinating claim to fame: it has served as a filming location for world-famous movies and series such as James Bond, Interstellar, and Game of Thrones. This glacier is especially prized by photographers and adventurers for its seasonal ice caves and dramatic crevasses, which change shape every year. Visiting it means witnessing both the power of Icelandic nature and the fragility of these landscapes in the face of climate change.
