History & Background
The glacier gained worldwide fame as the starting point of Jules Verne's 1864 novel 'Journey to the Center of the Earth'. Many people believe Snæfellsjökull is one of the world's seven main energy centers, attracting spiritual seekers from around the globe. The glacier has been retreating rapidly due to climate change. In 2001, the area became Iceland's first coastal national park.
