O Parque Nacional de Vatnajökull cobre mais de 8.000 quilômetros quadrados no sudeste da Islândia, abrangendo o maior glaciar europeu e as paisagens circundantes. O parque apresenta a calota de gelo de Vatnajökull, vulcões subglaciais e cascatas espetaculares, incluindo a área de Skaftafell. Os visitantes fazem trilhas em línguas glaciais, exploram grutas de gelo, visitam a lagoa glacial Jökulsárlón próxima e fotografam o terreno vulcânico moldado por erupções e atividade glacial.
Vatnajokull National Park is located in southeastern and central Iceland, covering approximately 14,000 square kilometers and encompassing the Vatnajokull ice cap, Europe's largest glacier by volume. The park was established in 2008 and expanded in 2019, unifying the former Skaftafell and Jokulsargljufur national parks under a single protected area administered by the Environment Agency of Iceland.
