Photography Tips

Try to play with water and sunset to get the best possible capture.

Travel Information

For those who are based in Reykjavík, it is by far the favourite spot on which to take guided glacier walks, competing nationally for popularity only with Svínafellsjökull in the south-east. It is also an optional trip or otherwise visited on many self-drives and holiday packages, such as this 6-Day Guided Vacation. Those who rent a car can drive to and approach it, but not climb it unless on a guided excursion.
