Svínafellsjökull Glacier

Svínafellsjökull Glacier is located in the Skaftafell National Park in Iceland. It is a breathtaking glacial tongue about 12 km² wide, an arm of one of the largest glaciers in Europe, Vatnajökull. When it comes to exploring the glacier, you will notice that it is an ever-changing landscape, with a variety of ice sculptures, crevasses, ridges, and lagoons. While exploring the Svínafellsjökull Glacier, you can witness the colors of the ice, which range from blue to white, depending on the amount of pressure and time. Every hour of the day brings with it different colors on the ice that produce a breathtaking spectacle. Besides the colors, you can also observe the shapes that were formed due to the continuous glacial movement. If you like hiking and mountaineering, you can contact the local tour company to arrange a hike on the glacier, which can take a few hours. Moreover, make sure to purchase glacier gear for your glacier trip, such as crampons, climbing harnesses, ice axes, and helmets. Since the weather in Iceland is quite unpredictable, make sure to check the weather forecast for your visit.
