Navigating your way around Iceland’s glacier regions
- Plan by region, not site: Glaciers are spread across Iceland, so visits are organized by routes like the South Coast, Vatnajokull area, and West Iceland.
- Suggested order: Start with South Coast glaciers (Solheimajokull, Myrdalsjokull), continue east to Vatnajokull outlets (Falljokull, Skaftafell), and finish at Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach.
- Getting around: There is no shuttle service between glaciers. Most visitors use rental cars or join guided tours with transfers included.
- Walking involved: Viewpoints usually require short walks, while glacier tours involve moderate walking on ice with safety gear.
- Food & facilities: Eateries are limited near glaciers; plan stops in nearby towns or visitor centers.
- Rest stops: Benches and shelters are scarce, so schedule breaks at designated parking areas or tour meeting points.
