Take one of the glacier climbing tours that start from the Vatnajokull visitor's center. The views on top of this glacier are amazing! Also Game of Thrones and Batman Begins were filmed here!

Chris Marsh

Great place to get up close to the glacier . The track can be navigated by small cars, but take it slow and watch out for the ruts and pot holes.

Frank Rimalovski

Took a guided ~6 mile moderately intense hike & loved it. Serious backpacking & hiking territory. Need special vehicles to get in/out so plan accordingly. Do NOT try to drive your own SUV here!

If you watched Interstellar, you may recognize the icy planet of Dr Mann.

Keri Ding

This glacier has blue ice and it's very scenic to hike on! Apparently game of thrones shot a lot of scenes here

Anthony Hicks

One of the scenes from Batman Begins was filmed here - the valley ice scene where he is supposed to be in the Himalayas on his quest for the flower . Booking Icelandic mountain guides for glacier walk
