Skaftafell has numerous attractions, all of which make it popular with visitors. Firstly, this green triangle is full of beauty, drawing the gaze like an enchanted oasis between the sky and Vatnajökull glacier. Secondly, its varied landscapes are easily accessible, either by bus or car, and finally, the region is criss-crossed with stunning footpaths, leading to sights such as the picture-postcard Svartifoss waterfall, an easily accessible glacier and, with a little more effort, a series of glacial lakes.
