The Vatnajökull is the largest glacier in Europe, and an incredible place to explore. It is easily accessible from Hofn, and there are a wide variety of activities you can do here.
We drove up the glacier in a Super Jeep. While most people seem to favor snowmobiling, the Super Jeep allowed us to go farther onto the glacier and higher on the peaks of surrounding mountains.
As we drove up, we passed multiple locations for Game of Thrones filming - and even saw a crew pulling up airplane parts to create a plane crash for a new movie.
From the peaks of the glacier we had stunning views of the landscape and the sea. Being able to see the ocean from a glacier was definitely a new experience.
