Travel by bus from Djúpivogur to the glacier lagoon known to the locals as Jökulsárlón. Here you will find Vatnajökull -- the largest glacier in all of Europe. You will see magnificent landscapes and touch the ice.
A boat trip among the floating icebergs is an unforgettable experience of dazzling white-on-white, punctuated only by shadows and light play.
Enjoy a taste of local specialties at the Smyrlabjorg Farm Hotel before continuing to Höfn village. From Almannaskar Pass, there is a striking view of the whole region.
