Explore with me Vatnajokull Glacier in Iceland in Vatnajökull National Park. Vatnajökull is the largest glacier in Europe by volume. It is one of the top attractions in Southeast Iceland.
If you want to hike on the glacier, you will have to book a tour because the hike is only allowed with a professional tour guide, however, if you just want to walk to see the glacier from the distance, no tour guide is required. It will take you up to an hour (roundtrip) to hike to the glacier if you choose to explore the area on your own. The trailhead starts from Skaftafell Visitor Center. There are public restrooms and a restaurant at the Skaftafell Visitor Center. The parking lot is just a short walk from the visitor center. There is a parking fee and you can pay the fee at the automated machine located in the parking lot.
In November 2011, the glacier was used as a shooting location for the second season of the HBO fantasy TV series Game of Thrones.
