Message from Thrainn Kolbeinsson

Svínafellsjökull is an outlet glacier of Europe's largest ice cap, located just off the ring road. Svínafellsjökull can be easily accessed from two parking lots. Its beauty was even noticed by the producers of Game of Thrones, who filmed scenes of the 'North of the Wall' battle in season 7 here! You can walk all the way to the lagoon at the base of the glacier where you have epic views of the entire icefall.

QUICK NOTES:

  • What it is: An epic glacier.

  • Best season: Any.

  • Best time of day: Any.

  • Nice to know: You can park on two sides but I prefer the east side - the walk is short from the parking lot on either side.
