Snæfellsjökull Glacier
Snæfellsjökull is a glacier-capped volcano at the tip of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, famous as the entry point in Jules Verne's novel 'Journey to the Center of the Earth'. The glacier crowns a stratovolcano that last erupted around 1,750 years ago. On clear days, the snow-white peak is visible from Reykjavík over 120km away. The entire area is protected as Snæfellsjökull National Park, Iceland's only coastal national park.
