早饭吃了 2片面包，好在国家公园门口有cafe，买了点吃的。我的鞋子太软不够要求，于是租了登山短靴，2.5小时的是6300克朗一人，试好冰鞋穿好手套，跟向 导的车子去一条极度颠簸的小路，来到冰川脚下。开始下着雨，很冷，走在冰上看着被表面黑色的泥土掩盖着的透着幽光的千年寒冰blue ice，等待向导用小铁锹凿出一条晶莹剔透的阶梯出来。　　雨停，远处的青山在薄雾中显露，身处厚厚的冰川中忽感一阵苍凉，寒意袭来，走到起点，告别这神奇的蓝冰，温暖地喝碗热汤，把面包掰碎放到汤里，还真是像羊肉泡馍啊~　　开车离开，今天要赶很远很远的路，从南边绕东边的环线直接开到极北边，GPS测算要9个小时，于是路过前一天晚上的冰湖，也不过是停驻拍个照。白天阳光灿烂，人很多，透着另一种美。这一路真可谓惊险刺激，错过了路上想找加油站，可测算说还有60多公里，剩余的一点点油如果是平地肯定是够的，但行驶在一片洪荒的盘山土路中，真是没办法计算。博士哥问大家，要不要赌一把，于是开车向前进发，眼瞅着油箱亮起了警告，眼前还是没有人烟。惊险地爬过一座座荒山，博士哥的冷汗流了一身，也终于在最后找到了加油站，一直紧绷的心弦也放松了~

We visited Skaftafell National Park on the first full day of our holiday in Iceland The scenery was breathtaking. We visited numerous glacial tongues which looked beautiful in the winter sunshine; such a wonderful shade of blue. It was very cold but fine if you layer up well. There is an informative visitor centre.

One of the best experiences we have ever had. The glaciers are amazing and the whole area is stunning - we got a sunny day with clear countryside the first day then all under snow the second. You really should try to get here if you are going on a trip to Iceland's south coast. Not sure if it is in the national park, but the Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon is the most amazing place I have ever been!

I only walk the 45mn trail to get to Svartifoss, but it was refreshing. It was January, the weather was nice. The view is charming.

I've been there twice and first in July 2013 and then last as part of the day excursions on a 1-week northern light trip this month. I woudl say going in summer is more preferable for better photos and wonderful and less unpreditable weather. Yet this is a highly recomended place to vist while in Iceland. By visiting I must stress that means more than staying at the visitor or tourist centre next to the carpark off the glacier. I made that mistake by staying around the carpark as I ddi nto have the time on a round the Icelandic main island packaged tour. This second visit was focused on the south and the west and we could afford the time to get into the first bit of the national park arae where I started to have a real close-up view of the glacier and the dark hills and rocks as a nice contrasting background colour for good pictures. As the weather was rainy and misty that day and the time for travellign between scenic and tourist spots was still substntial in this nation, we stayed for less than an hour and did not manage to get to the waterfall among vertcial basaltic columns which is among the best secne for my dreamed photo shots. Though I just stayed beyond the little gate for a while, what I saw did surpassed most visitors see on major Swiss snowy mountains overlooking the longest Swiss glacier, though that may still means relatively little for those who have been to Antartica, Pantagonia, Alaska or Svalbard I would defintely go there again if I happen to be in South Iceland again!

Skaftafellsjokull glacier near Skaftafell National Park—One of the highlights in Iceland. This was viewed from outside the park. We had a rental car and stayed a couple nights in Vik and toured the area east of Vik. On the way back from the Jokulsarlon iceberg lagoon we stopped at this glacier. There are two glaciers near Skaftafell National Park that you can see from the Ring Road. They are located 2 km off the highway. It was a very bumpy gravel road that takes about 10 minutes to get there. There is a small parking lot (no services). There is a short trail on the lava rocks beside the glacier you can climb up on and get a good look at the glacier. It was so incredible the blue color and the rugged nature of this glacier is hard to describe. I was told the glaciers are only blue in the wintertime. I don’t think there are any organized hikes on this glacier. It is definitely worth the stop and getting up close to the glacier. Incredible--have never seen anything like it. We did not have time to actually go inside Skaftafell National Park as it was getting late. Ring Road was very icy and the drive to the Jokulsarlon Lagoon took longer than we planned.

Simply stunning area to be in even in poor weather it looks great. Take enough time to do some walking don't just shoot past on a tour of the island.

Placed just below Vatnajökull glacier it is a charming place to walk around. Visiting the several waterfalls in the area.

We went there to hike one of the fjords and it was an experience we will never forget, down to the trip to the fjord itself in big, yellow American school buses. We spent several hours with a very knowledgeable guide up on the fjord in crampons. In September, the weather and temperature was comfortable. There's a well laid out information centre as well and a cafe. Guided tours can be booked at the centre on the day, no problem. A LONG drive from Reykjavik, but worth a stop on any Icelandic road trip.

If you have never seen ICE, blue ICE, hit this way. It will blow your mind away.We were guided via a 4WD up Skaftafell to the ice cave. The day was clear without much wind. Once in the cave, nothing but awe!Imagine yourself being an ant walking on icecubes. The ice were beautifully crafted by erosion and there were endless waves formed on the surface. Words will not do the place justice. You have to be there to experience it yourself.Bring along a DSLR & tripod. Safety gears will be provided. Warning, the journey up may not be suitable for peeps with motion sickness.

What an incredibly beautiful place, completely out of this world. No pictures can do these Glaciers justice, from the sheer scale of them to the beautiful radiant blue that omits into the sky. Will definitely come back here again

we took a walking tour with a really nice guide.i couldn't believe how far we've been walking... it was so breathtaking.you should bring a professional camera, i regret taking photos only with me phone.enjoy

the weather was perfectly Icelandic .... but the area is not equipped to receive so many visitors, tired and wet.The cafeteria is small and poorly equipped, the campground has large areas but decidedly undersized services.

Svartifoss is only 20 minutes of easy walk from parking and it is one beautifil waterfall.Yust stand in front of it and enjoy in the amazing rock formations with mighty waterfall in centre.
