Iceland sits on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, creating intense volcanic activity beneath many glaciers. This unique combination of fire and ice makes Icelandic glaciers unlike anywhere else on Earth. The largest glacier, Vatnajökull, is bigger than all other European glaciers combined. Other major glaciers include Langjökull, Snæfellsjökull and Hofsjökull.

Glacier experiences range from easy 30-minute walks to glacier snouts, to full-day ice climbing routes and winter ice cave expeditions. The famous blue ice caves beneath Vatnajökull are among the most popular winter experiences in all of Iceland.
Iceland's Glaciers
Glaciares destacados en Islandia
Desde la poderosa capa de hielo Vatnajökull hasta el legendario Snæfellsjökull, los glaciares más destacados de Islandia.
Glaciar Vatnajökull
Iceland's largest ice cap, covering much of Southeast Iceland and several active volcanic systems.
Sea testigo de la dramática belleza del Vatnajökull, el glaciar más grande de Islandia, donde vastas extensiones de hielo azul brillante se encuentran con el poder crudo de los volcanes activos. Su superficie colosal y llena de grietas, como se ve en la imagen, contrasta con las montañas oscuras y escarpadas, creando un paisaje de fuego y hielo verdaderamente inolvidable.
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Iceland's Most Iconic Ice Lagoon
Jökulsárlón is Iceland's most famous glacier lagoon — a dazzling lake filled with floating icebergs that calved from Breiðamerkurjökull glacier. The lagoon has grown dramatically in recent decades due to glacial retreat. Boat tours take visitors between the floating ice, some reaching 30 metres high. The icebergs eventually drift out to sea and wash up on the nearby Diamond Beach. The lagoon has appeared in multiple James Bond films and countless nature documentaries.
Glaciar Langjökull
Explore Langjökull, Iceland's second-largest glacier, with its unique man-made ice tunnels and vast snowy landscapes.
Adéntrese en el corazón de Langjökull, el magnífico 'glaciar largo' de Islandia, a través de su singular túnel de hielo artificial, una experiencia de otro mundo en las profundidades de la capa de hielo. Viaje por cámaras de hielo azul esculpidas, como las que se ven en la imagen, o explore su vasta superficie en motonieve, siendo testigo de un paisaje moldeado por milenios de hielo y fuego.
Snæfellsjökull
Glacier-capped stratovolcano in national park
Glaciar volcánico icónico corona la península de Snæfellsnes, presentado en Viaje al Centro de la Tierra de Verne.
Skaftafellsjökull
Witness the grandeur of Skaftafellsjökull, a retreating glacier framed by rugged mountains and new life.
Experimente la impresionante escala de Skaftafellsjökull, un glaciar de salida de Vatnajökull, dramáticamente enmarcado por montañas antiguas. Una corta caminata lo lleva a su impresionante término, donde un lago proglacial brilla con témpanos de hielo y la tierra recién expuesta florece con abedules vibrantes y otra vegetación resistente, mostrando la resiliencia de la naturaleza frente al retroceso glacial.
Sólheimajökull
Accessible outlet glacier of Mýrdalsjökull with a marked visitor approach from Road 221.
Lengua glaciar accesible popular para caminatas glaciares y vistas de hielo dramático.
