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.

Vatnajökull Glacier
Iceland's largest ice cap, covering much of Southeast Iceland and several active volcanic systems.
Vatnajökull is Iceland's largest ice cap and one of the largest in Europe. It covers a broad part of Southeast Iceland and overlies active volcanic systems including Grímsvötn and Bárðarbunga.
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.
Langjökull Glacier
Explore Langjökull, Iceland's second-largest glacier, with its unique man-made ice tunnels and vast snowy landscapes.
Step into the heart of Langjökull, Iceland's magnificent 'long glacier,' via its unique man-made ice tunnel, an otherworldly experience deep within the ice cap. Journey through sculpted blue ice chambers, reminiscent of the image, or explore its vast surface by snowmobile, witnessing a landscape shaped by millennia of ice and fire.
Snæfellsjökull
Glacier-capped stratovolcano in national park
Snæfellsjökull is a magnificent glacier located in West Iceland. This ancient ice mass is part of Iceland's iconic glacial landscape. Visitors can explore the glacier on guided tours, witnessing the stunning blue ice formations, crevasses and the dramatic interplay of ice and volcanic rock.
Skaftafellsjökull
Witness the grandeur of Skaftafellsjökull, a retreating glacier framed by rugged mountains and new life.
Experience the breathtaking scale of Skaftafellsjökull, an outlet glacier from Vatnajökull, dramatically framed by ancient mountains. A short hike leads you to its impressive terminus, where a proglacial lake shimmers with ice floes and newly exposed land flourishes with vibrant birch and other hardy vegetation, showcasing nature's resilience against the backdrop of glacial retreat.
Sólheimajökull
Accessible outlet glacier of Mýrdalsjökull with a marked visitor approach from Road 221.
Sólheimajökull is an outlet glacier flowing from Mýrdalsjökull on Iceland's South Coast. Its terminus has changed rapidly in recent decades, making a fixed 'glacier edge' map pin unsuitable.
